The Overlooked Health Benefits of Diving - The Scuba News
When people think of scuba diving, fun leisure activity is what often comes to mind. However, aside from the obvious exercise and fitness, there are a lot of health benefits that people don’t really talk about. As if we needed more reasons to go diving!

Videos of the sinking of TRITON.
In commemoration of Earth Day, we sank the last 2 wrecks for our North Project. This is one.
Meanwhile in St. Lucia or authorities has not yet acknowledged that the SCTLD is here and has decimated
so much of our stony Corals, starlet, brain, and pillar corals. No plan, nothing.
The Department of Environment is appealing to divers to help monitor stony coral tissue loss disease which is spreading at about a mile a month towards Seven Mile Beach.
For the first phase of the Divers Association’s North Project, these are the vessels we will be sinking as Artificial Reefs. Cleaning starts on Saturday 6th February 2021.
The Saint Lucia National Conservation Fund in conjunction with the Tourism Enhancement Fund Granted the St. Lucia Divers Association-Anbaglo, funds to pursue their projects in the North of the island.

The Bahamas recently implemented a nationwide plastic ban, details about this ban are available on the Ministry of Environment and Housing page and website: http://www.plasticfree242.com/
Take action this week and go plastic-free!
Comment if you’re up for the challenge and tag us in your post and use to show us how you decided to to reduce Plastic Pollution in The Bahamas.
Why reduce plastic pollution? Why ban plastic?
Our marine environment is directly linked to our identity and plastic pollution is the number one kind of marine debris negatively impacting the health of our ocean.
Plastic and Styrofoam also have effects on our health! Styrofoam released harmful toxins when used in a microwave. These toxins can cause skin and eye irritation, as well as damage to other organs!
Here are some tips from Bahamas Plastic Movement on how you can Take Action and move away from plastic dependency!
https://www.bahamasplasticmovement.org/learn
> Bring a reusable mug for coffee and tea at local coffee shops;
> Bring your own washable dishware and utensils to work or school;
> Carry a reusable straw when you leave home OR say no to straws when you order drinks; and
> Serve guests food and drinks on reusable dishware OR encourage them to bring their own cup/bottle!
