our dive team removed over 20 bags of plastic from the Red Sea! Particularly proud of the 3 bags of bottles Robert and I collected in just 30 mins. Big thanks to James & Mac for enabling us to make a difference. Did you know 70% of our oxygen comes from the oceans? Every effort counts in protecting our seas!
