Come Together and Dive
Location: Redondo Beach, California
Site/Wreck: Veteran’s Park
Divers/Volunteers: Sean Canullas, Michael Gasbarro, Jung Hseih, Norbert Lee, Tianyi Lu, Jamie Mitchell, Yury Velikanau
Our divers participated in the first Come Together and Dive event at Redondo Beach! It was a collaborative effort between multiple local dive shops, dive clubs and organizations. The divers also collaborated with the PADI AWARE Foundation to count the collected trash for the PADI AWARE citizen science initiative.
Divers participated in both an underwater clean up and a beach clean up. They collected all sorts of things including fishing poles, fishing line, bottles, cans, and miscellaneous other trash. Divers were able to rescue an octopus that had made its home in a jar and enjoyed a day of community building for a great cause, the health of the oceans!
