Great day, great teamwork! 😊 Today we went diving near Penlee Point, Plymouth. It was a bit rough to take the boat out any further but we made the most of the opportunity to go diving and also did some boat training. The divers retrieved a lost lobster pot and released a spider crab trapped inside and also a small lobster. They collected some mixed debris, including a weights belt.

21/4/19 - We had planned a training dive today but unfortunately had a technical hitch with our boat, so not wanting to miss out on the opportunity of getting outdoors, enjoying the lovely Cornish weather and looking for some marine litter, we headed to Hemmick beach near St Austell and did a Paddle for Plastic with kayaks on loan from Odyssey Innovation Ltd. Rob and Nat headed west along the coastline and collected mostly fishing debris, including buoys, a broken lobster pot

As part of the Keep Britain Tidy - Great British Spring Clean we wanted to do our bit and had a successful dive outside and along the harbour wall. The divers were well looked after by Rob and Nat in Odyssey Innovation Ltd kayaks leading them safely from the harbour to the dive site and back. The kayakers were really usefu

Thanks to support from World Animal Protection UK #Morrisons

28/29th June 19 - What a cracking weekend spent diving with ‘Neptune’s Army of Rubbish Cleaners’ from Pembrokeshire. 😁 Diving from Falmouth at the Stanwood, Epsilon, Rick Island Bridge and again the Epsilon. Plenty of fishing related litter to clear. 3 dumpy bags full were retrieved but unfortunately having spent a long time in the sea, most of it is not suitable for recycling as it’s either contaminated or mixed with non recyclable materials but its out of the sea, thanks t
