DIVEPOINT SCUBA CENTER to
SPONSOR CLEANUP of SUNSET LAKE
|
More than 30 scuba divers, their friends and families will again participate in a cleanup of
Sunset Lake on Saturday, September 18, 2004. This event is open to the public and scheduled
to begin at 10:00 a.m.
Last year there were more than 200 beach cleanups sponsored by scuba stores throughout the
United States. DIVEPOINT SCUBA CENTER, located at 844 Main Street in Stevens Point, is
again conducting this event in conjunction with PADI, The Project AWARE Foundation and the
Center for Marine Conservation's International Cleanup Day. This is the third year that
DIVEPOINT SCUBA CENTER is organizing this local event.
PADI's Project AWARE program (Aquatic World Awareness, Responsibility and Education) is
designed to educate the public, both those who dive and those who do not, about the need to
protect fragile aquatic areas. Project AWARE events take place at various times throughout
the year. The month of September has been designated as Project AWARE month. During
this month, hundreds of PADI Dive Centers and Resorts throughout the world will conduct
beach and underwater cleanup activities, educational seminars, and courses related to
these concepts.
DIVEPOINT SCUBA CENTER offers a variety of scuba related services including educational
courses, equipment sales and service opportunities.
