The Five Biggest Impacts Facing Our Oceans, plus Five Easy Ways You Can Make A Difference.‍ Don’t worry, this is not another doom & gloom article about how we’re trashing the planet, killing our oceans, and are inevitably going to end up in a post-apocalyptic world filled with trash (just like Wall-E). However, given that two in every three breaths we take come from the ocean, and just how generally amazing the ocean is, it would be useful for all of us to be armed with some knowledge about what to do in the face of all these problems. So, in hope of inspiring some positive actions, here are the five biggest things impacting the future of our ocean, plus five easy things you can do right now to be part of the solution.

As part of being a Padi Diving Centre each year its the dive centres responsibility to plan, promote and organise a beach clean up, with the Padi Project Aware Team. In 2018 Blue Water Diving adopted Amadores Beach as our designated area. Amadores is a man made beach which is nestled inbetween Puerto Mogan and Puerto Rico. Amadres beach was built in 2002 with crushed coral sand imported from the Carribean. The bay has grown in marine life and plants grow from the rocks, which has formed it as a nursery for barracuda, angel sharks, sea wrasse, cuttlefish, squid, damzels, sardines…. Adult stingrays, eagle rays and angel sharks can be found here.
