Hi everyone!
Last weekend was Clean Up Australia Day, and it was fantastic to see so many wonderful organisations doing their bit to keep the beautiful Whitsundays clean.
I had the chance to visit Coral Sea Marina and witness firsthand the incredible amount of rubbish collected by volunteers.
It is heartwarming to see communities and businesses coming together for such an important cause. Back in Sydney, I often took part in scuba diving clean-ups where we removed rubbish from the ocean floor. I even once found a shopping trolley with an eel living inside.
I am currently working on my Advanced Open Water qualification and cannot wait to continue progressing in scuba diving. I am especially excited about getting involved in more environmental projects, including hopefully earning my shark and coral reef conservation specialities.
Happy reading!
Ruth
