20.01.2022 Picked this up in a few minutes after a rescue course today The glass bottle had a good couple hundred metres of fishing line neatly wrapped around it.. a rather strange choice for a reel Project AWARE #adoptadivesite #makeeverydivecount #cleanupdive

14.01.2022 Donations update! The wetsuits continue to come in, about 50 so far, half have gone to a local seamstress to start upcycling them the other half are in such good condition I can't justify cutting them up. So they are being kept for members to use as requested, so yes please do ask to use them. (See inventory photo below for sizes. There's also some 20 kids wetsuits I've not done stocktake on as they are not suitable for clean up diving). Had lots of other bits and pieces co...me in: cutting tools, masks, fins, boots. Still after more gloves and still happy to take whatever you wish to give so we can make clean up diving more accessible to everyone. (See inventory photo below for details) Most mentionable donations include the underwater camera we were gifted unfortunately it flooded on a recent dive (it was taken to 15m, rated to 18m ) and it's completely ruined now . Another massive item we got was a 2nd beach trolley. It will have a plaque put on it in commemoration of the mother of the person who purchased the trolley (2nd hand of course) for us Massive kudos to everyone sending us items like the above, keep them coming. So many feels And yes formal clean ups again soon! Late Feb is the current goal. Keep an eye out for last minute dives and clean ups. DON'T FORGET TO MAKE EVERY DIVE COUNT AND ASK TO UTILISE ANY OF OUR EQUIPMENT/TOOLS TO HELP YOU DO SO

13.01.2022 Check out these beauties Mask tamers made from the donated unusable wetsuits and swimwear off-cuts are coming along nicely logos to come Lots of other product prototypes are being planned by the seamstress Neenzel Squider and then who knows! ... We're stoked to have this project happening and giving these environmentally harmful products a new life.

12.01.2022 Don't just throw it away! We here at SCCUD are all for reducing our waste; however, some things we have to accept as necessities! These guys have a long list of random items they accept not just blister packs. Let's save our oceans and get a cheeky little reward for it too!... #nobluenogreen #oceanprotect #reusereducerecycle #oceanwarriors #ecowarriors

08.01.2022 Was thinking the La Balsa dive site was looking so clean these days. Recent sand movement has exposed a new level of fishing debris again 2.5kg, estimated 1km of fishing line, 3 plastic bags, 3 lures. And that black stuff.. appears to be film from an old VHS tape #thisisfishing #adoptadivesite #projectaware #tangaroablue Jarrod Bleijie MP Joe Natoli - Councillor Division 4

01.01.2022 Coming up in 2 weeks time! Clean ups happening everywhere between Coolum and Caloundra basically. We have no official involvement but any local clean up is something to support and join in if you can.
