On Sunday, February 26, 2012, divers and from Southern Maryland will be gathering at the Driftwood Beach in Chesapeake Ranch Estates in Calvert County to help do their part in helping the environment while making a difference locally.
This is an event open not just to divers, but to all who are interested in helping clean the beach. Volunteers will be diving the shore line to pick up debris such as plastic bags, fishing line, and plastic bottles along with any other trash found as well as cleaning up the beach itself.
This is all part of an initiative by Southern Maryland Divers, LLC to do their part in helping the environment in a not so typical way as a part of Project Aware. For the dive, Southern Maryland Divers will provide hotdogs and hamburgers, sodas, hot chocolate, and coffee for anyone that participates as well as a shelter with a kerosene heater for those that dive. Additionally, Southern Maryland Divers will provide tanks (air) and rental gear free of charge for those that don’t have their own gear (based on availability, must contact dive shop).
As a special for all participants (diving, or not), Southern Maryland Divers will be offering the PADI Project Aware – “Our World, Our Water” specialty for only $35. This will however require a short classroom session for those who choose to take it.
Southern Maryland Divers equest that everyone who wishes to participate, RSVPs with to (Nikki@SouthernMarylandDivers.com) to ensure that they have enough supplies.
