Comments and Feedback
What a way to give back to our beautiful planet!
We are extremely happy to see the difference in the amount of debris found at this particular dive site. For years, Adventure Sports Newmarket and its divers have gathered to collect as much as possible, noticing this number decreasing over the years! Consistent effort towards ridding our water of its debris pays off more and more each year, which only encourages us to expand this environmental journey. We plan to get more involved, as well as encourage community involvement as we work towards cleaner water!
