Last Saturday,April 9th Dive Friends Bonaire and NetTech organized their Clean Up dive again for everyone who wants to make a difference! Over 100 volunteers participated to clean the reef in front of Restaurant It Rains Fishes. Lot's of trash was brought on the shore: 491 Glass Beverage Bottles and other Glass, 17 Plastic Bottles, 88 Beverage Cans, 172 Cups-plates-forks-knives & Spoons, 112 pieces of Building Materials and much more! The container, that was sponsored by Selibon was almost full!


At 5 pm the raffle started and General Manager Pascal and Assistant Dive Manager Asko made a lot of people happy with a great price, for example a diner coupon for 2 at It Rains Fishes! After that it was Barbecue time. There was plenty of food and side dishes. 2 drinks for free and after that a symbolic fee of $1 per drink.

A staff member of Dive Friends handed out special Clean up Log Book sheets for people who were interested.

Special thanks to our sponsors: Selibon, Obersi Group, It Rains fishes, Mondriaan, Reef, Deep Blue, Dive Shades, Ouray Sportswear, Watertaxi Kontika di Amour, Bonaire Marine Park.

It was a fantastic day where local people and visitors of Bonaire did their best! 4 times a year a spot is chosen for the clean up dive. Next clean up dive is July 10th. If you are on Bonaire that period, you are more then welcome to join! cleanup@dive-friends-bonaire.com

ALL VOLUNTEERS : THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
