First 2009 Underwater Cleanup is Saturday, January 10, 2009

The first quarterly underwater cleanup will take place at the dive site, Windsock, at Donkey Beach on Saturday, January 10, 2009.  All interested participants should meet at Dive Friends @ Port Bonaire at 1:00 PM.

Everyone is welcome, and those not diving can also help, since shore support is always needed.  This particular dive site, Windsock, is located at an area of popular beach activities, so much debris and trash can easily blow into the water.  This is a new site for the underwater cleanups, so it’s anticipated there will be plenty of trash to clean.

All participants are welcome to return at 4:30 PM for the event’s customary BBQ, held at Dive Friends @ Port Bonaire; drinks and main courses will be provided by Dive Friends and NetTech, but participants are asked to bring a side dish to share.
