A group of 26 Seven Seas Divers, family members, and friends, met on Saturday, September 19th, 2009 at the Newport Fingers on the Oregon Coast in celebration of World Oceans and International Cleanup Day. The topside weather started out a little damp, but the skies cleared up shortly after arriving at the dive site. Underwater a group of 21 divers explored the rocky fingers while picking up underwater debris. Thanks to SOLV, we filled up a number of donated garbage bags with both underwater and topside trash. (Did you know the first Beach Cleanup in the nation was held in Oregon in 1984?)
A group of 18 Seven Seas Divers, family members, and friends, also met on Sunday, September 20th, 2009 for a special behind the scenes Oregon Coast Aquarium tour. Thanks goes out to the incredible aquarium staff for an educational morning!
Congratulations to the 13 Seven Seas Divers who earned their Project AWARE certifications earlier in the week!
Again another incredible DIVE MORE™ monthly event with Seven Seas Divers!
See you all at next month for our Halloween festivity day on Saturday, October 17th, 2009 where we plan to dive at the Yellow House and/or Sund Rock. Divers interested in mastering unwater pumpkin carving, bring your pumpkins and yur carving skills! Topside we will be creating creepy cupcakes, carving pumpkins, and then enjoying a family style potluck dinner.
