Superdive is doing its part spreading awareness of how much work there has yet to be done in keeping our marine ecosystems clean! And since awareness is only half the battle, we'll also be taking action by organizing both a shore AND underwater cleanup/survey - so divers AND non-divers are welcome to join! Come join us at Beach 8th Street in Far Rockaway on Sunday, September 16th.

Certified Divers: bring own equipment, or $20 equipment rental fee (we have tank, weights, BCD, regulator, computer, mesh bag - sorry, no rental wetsuit/fins/boots/masks/gloves). Rental fee goes to funding this and future cleanups. Remember, this dive site may feature poor visibility and some strong currents, so may not be suitable for beginners. 

Nondivers: We will provide gloves. Trash bags provided by American Littoral Society. 

Not only are we cleaning up, we will also be SURVEYING & weighing the debris collected. Participants will receive data cards to log the type & weight of debris collected. We will be submitting these cards to Project Aware (collected underwater) and American Littoral Society (collected on land). 

Estimates based on tide schedule: 
Check in & Briefing: 9:00AM
Gear Setup & Shore Cleanup Start: 10:30AM
Entering water: 11:00AM

Please RSVP so we can know how many to expect, especially if you need to rent gear. Send email to: [email protected]
