PROJECTMAR: A groundbreaking UNDERWATER cleanup event - 25 May 2009
We are so proud to be involved with PROJECTMAR, a astounding series of events run by the guy’s at DIVETEK, a Portuguese Diving Club, with the support of many big media and environmental groups throughout Portugal.
The upcoming cleanup is being held at the stunning BAIA DE CASCAIS on the western tip of Lisbon on Saturday May 30th.
We discovered this organization early this year and immediately signed on as partners. The people behind this growing community, especially our friend Gabriel NEVES, are examples for society; they devote an enormous amount of their time (as volunteers) to not only pursuing their environmental goals of restoring underwater habitats but also, bringing more and more people to understand that damage is taking place in places “they can’t see” (under the surface of the ocean). For those that can’t get their minds around Scuba Diving (they do this for free), the Divetek team makes sure that they “bring the ocean back to them” in form of underwater videos and “land events” to show and teach people what’s happening and of course, getting them involved in fun events like the one this week-end.
We were scheduled to go down and DIVE with them and meet the rest of their team and our Portuguese LANEO Members but sadly, last minute priorities came up here in Paris and we were forced to call in with a “rain check” :-(
PROJECTMAR will be widely promoted on our upcoming website and we’ll be going down to take part in the event in August in PORTO COVO so stay tune for news on this weekends event and the upcoming one’s – you’re going to be VERY impressed with what you’re going to see !!

Boa sorte para a equipa maravilhoso PROJECTMAR este fim de semana !
