The First Underwater Cleanup for 2008 is Slated for Saturday, January 12th

Dive Friends Bonaire and NetTech sponsor four underwater cleanups each year, one each quarter.  The first cleanup for this year will be in front of Kas di Regatta along the oceanfront promenade on Saturday, January 12, 2008.

Everyone is invited, divers and non-divers alike, as shore personnel are also needed for help in counting and tracking trash which has been brought up.  The location, in front of Kas di Regatta, has not been cleaned in 1-1/2 years, and so is probably quite ready to be cleaned.  Anyone interested in participating should meet at the Dive Friends Yellow Sub location on the ocean promenade at 1:00 PM on Saturday.  After a comprehensive briefing, divers and shore support will leave for Kas di Regatta for the dive.

Those participating are invited back at 5:30 PM to Dive Friends Yellow Sub for a Potlock BBQ.  Entrees and drinks are provided by Dive Friends and NetTech, but please bring a small side dish to share with friends.
