Search and Recovery

22/9/2020

Congratulations to our two new Search and Recovery Speciality holders - James Jennings and Marly-Jay Lysandrou

During the course, they learnt how to undertake various search patterns - circular, expanding square and jackstays, they learnt to undertake these activities in various levels of visibility to, as well as teamwork, but they also "Took Action"



On Dive four they were asked to conduct a dive with a search pattern of their own choosing but because some club members were completing our Dive Against Debris dives, they asked if they could make that their objective as part of the dive... Great initiative and great use of new skills, so of course we said yes

It was a great delivery particularly for one member of the Dive Rutland team who was returned their Mares torch lost back in August and it still worked!  Great Recovery guys

Plastic Crisis Unabated

9/9/2020

 
Scientists now calculate that the upper 600-feet of the ocean alone contains up to 21 million metric tons of plastic waste. The rubbish isn't vanishing; it's simply getting ground down and dispersed in the sea. Macro-plastics like bags and bottles are breaking into micro-plastics (defined as bits less than 5 millimeters long) that swirl around and sink eventually sink to the seafloor. They sampled 12 sites in the middle of the Atlantic between the UK and the Falkland Islands, and in a single cubic meter of seawater, they found up to 7,000 plastic particles. Nature Communications
The statistics are alarming, changes need to be made.
Project AWARE week is 19th - 27th September this year, join us on some of our activities including Dive Against Debris / Learn more about Coral and Learn about Project Aware to name but three
