Earth Day Clean Up April 22nd 2023


Big Island Divers

Aqualung, PADI, & Big Island Divers are joining forces to promote the world’s largest self-organized dive clean up, and we’re inviting you to join us! Please help us clean up our beaches on April 22nd 2023 for EARTH DAY!

Kamilo Beach also known as “Plastic Beach”, is one of the dirtiest places in the world and it’s right here on Big Island. On the island’s southeastern side, Kamilo Point looks like a wasteland, despite its tide pools and pockets of lava rock. The ocean’s currents and powerful trade winds deposit thousands of pounds of man-made trash on this beach each year.

Hawaii Wildlife Fund (HWF) collected and hauled away 15,000 pounds of trash, nylon nets, and fishing line in just a few months.

We recommend that you bring with you;

Closed Toe Shoes

Hat

Sunglasses

Reef safe sunscreen

Gloves

Snacks

Reusable Water Bottle

Bug Spray

We will provide a First Aid Kit, Trash Bags, Hand Sanitizer, Water Jugs for refilling

We look forward to having you all help us clean up our island! Please email Nikki Taylor at nikki@bigislanddivers.com if you have any questions. Carpooling is also an option so just let us know!
