Here is another great event for Earth Day!
Join South Beach Dive and Surf Center and Debris Free Oceans this Earth Day for a reef cleanup scuba diving trip in the crystal blue waters of Key Largo!
On April 22nd, we will be teaming up with our partner Rainbow Reef Dive Center and bringing divers to an area outside of the protected John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in need of cleaning up. Participants will enjoy two drift dives while removing debris from the reef.
All you need is your open-water diver certification, around 20 logged dives (to be sure that you are experienced enough to multitask underwater) and a passion for protecting our reefs that are crucial to the survival of thousands of marine species.
This specific volunteer-oriented trip costs $20 less than our usual Key Largo diving excursions, and participants will receive half-off of gear rentals! Book online through the SBD trip calendar and save an additional 5% on your reservation! Or feel free to call us at 305-531-6110 to book.
Participants are asked to come to South Beach Divers (850 Washington Ave) at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday morning for a safe-handling workshop, where you will learn the ins and out of being a successful and safe marine steward. We will then gear up, fill out paperwork and head to Key Largo. We will stop for food on our way down so you can either pack a lunch or bring money for Subway or Pollo Tropical.
South Beach Divers provides free transportation to and from Key Largo, or you can choose to drive yourself. After the dives, different groups and sponsors will be tabling including Debris Free Oceans and Stream2Sea. We will calculate the total amount of debris removed and record data to submit to scientific research, and then head to Sharkey’s Pub and Grill for food, drinks and prizes!
As of now, one South Beach Divers vehicles will be staying in Key Largo for the after party and heading back around 7. Please indicate in your reservation if you would like to drive yourself or with us. If you choose to dive with us, please indicate in the comments of your reservation if you would like to stay later or head back to Miami immediately after the dive.
If you have any questions or concerns, shoot us an email at sales@southbeachdivers.com or give us a call at 305-531-6110.
Hoping to dive with you this Earth Day and protect our oceans!
