For decades, divers have been cleaning underwater environments of waste. However, despite all efforts, debris from daily human activities continues to accumulate in the depths of the sea. Our hope is to create a healthier underwater environment and help save our planet. Among the most destructive threats to marine life are abandoned fishing nets, which severely damage vital habitats.
On March 19, 2025, a six-member team was deployed to clear a dive site of an abandoned fishing net. During this operation, four divers, supported by two assisting personnel, worked in two groups to retrieve a 200-meter-long fishing net entangled around the sunken ship Dama at a depth of 34 meters. In a 42-minute dive time, they used two lift bags to free the net from the seabed and successfully brought it to the surface for complete removal.
Thank you to the Department of Environment, Kish Island, and Marin Darya Taban Club for their support. Special appreciation to the divers Saeid Parvin, Mehrdad Hajiloo, Amir Arkanfar, and Babak Khorsand for their participation, as well as to Behnam Malek Jafari and Majid Raisi for their valuable assistance in providing support services.
