Ghost net Clean up on MV Jasim wreck, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Ends
Friday 21st September 2018
We are still trying to highlight the negative impact of marine debris worldwide by participating and building awareness and making a difference. Again thank you for all the divers' commitment. In September last year, we pulled up 1500kg of trash in just over 1.5hours by both divers and beach volunteers during our last clean up. And so our journey is to continue to dive against the debris. Recently we wre diving on the MV Jasim wreck and sadly we found abandoned fish trips with lots of batfish and gillnets covering the wreck which entangled a turtle and some fish. The turtle unfortunately couldn't be saved. We invite experinced divers with deep diving and wreck diving experience Minimum level is PADI advance open water
Safe diving everyone!
