THIS PLANNED DIVE AGAINST DEBRIS HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FROM SEPTEMBER 21 TO SEPTEMBER 22, DUE TO WEATHER RELATED TO HURRICANE HUMBERTO, 

Ocean Quest, the MUN Scuba Club and the Thornbacks Dive Club are committed to keeping our dive sites pristine. Just as we are committed to the more global effort to clean up our oceans. We have a long way to go. Come join us on September 22 for a Dive Against Debris Survey, a beach clean up, a shore dive, a BBQ and maybe a prize or two.  at the "Adopted Dive Site" Holyrood Marina as part of Project AWARE week. 

Dive Against Debris was created by divers, for divers. Only divers have the training, knowledge and skills to remove marine debris from underwater.

It is estimated as much as 70 percent of the rubbish entering our ocean sinks to the seafloor, and although much of this is likely to be outside the reach of recreational divers, we still have the power to tackle underwater marine debris head on.

The marine debris problem is big, but Project AWARE’s movement of divers is strong. Through Dive Against Debris divers are playing a major role in keeping our ocean clean and healthy.
