We have to postpone the cleanup scheduled for this weekend because of the weather. We hope to reschedule it in 2-3 weeks and will let you know as soon as a date is set.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who helped with yesterday's cleanup of Clearwater Reef. We recovered more than 1100 lbs of marine debris! This, despite the visibility was only about 5'. I thought it made for a more interesting dive adding to the challenge of keeping up with your buddy while searching for trash. Thanks to the contributions from our donors and sponsors we gave away lots of raffle prizes this time. Here's a shot of a couple of divers who won raffle prizes, the Deep Outdoors BC was donated by Tackle Shack and the sand sculpture was provided by The Pier Aquarium.
