Thanks to our:
Sponsors:
VIP DIVING COLLEGE and the VIP SHROUQ LIVEBOARD

Collaboration with:
Ras Mohammed National Park, CDWS, SSI

Participants:
31 participants, 3 guides, 6 crew members, and 2 Ras Mohammed National Park workers

Result:
The Shark Observatory is now clean – no more fishing lines!

The dive was done in two groups. The second dive was split between Shark Observatory and Eel GardenEel Garden will be our next target!

With each clean-up, we will continue to clean more areas until they are free of trash and fishing lines.

Yesterday, we managed to remove between 35 and 50 kilos of fishing lines from the corals through collaboration.

Saber from VIP Diving College provided us with his safari boat, guides, crew, tanks, and weights.

Fabio Baviera, our videographer, was the first and last underwater to show what a clean-up looks like – and how people pollute our underwater world, but also how people like us try to repair the damage.

Hamada took over the dive briefing.

Ras Mohammed National Park supported us with trash collection and handling the administrative tasks.

CDWS and SSI actively participated in our clean-ups and helped spread our announcements.

Only through collaboration with all of you can we protect our planet and our seas.
