Dive against Debris
The dive against debris program was established in 2011 as part of Project AWARE's broader mission to combat marine debris and promote sustainable diving practices. It empowers scuba divers to take an active role in collecting and reporting underwater debris, thereby contributing valuable data to global marine conservation efforts. It is currently continued by PADI AWARE.
​
Tursiopsdivers adopted Tung Ping Chau - ADS323 in June 2017, and we have continued to survey it since then. Until today we have conducted 120 cleanup dives and recovered 1993kg and 19487 debris items, of which 79% is plastic.
​
Tung Ping Chau is one of the six marine parks in Hong Kong. It was established in 2001 and occupies a sea area of about 270 hectares, including the island itself. The marine park comprises two core areas (map by AFCD), one of which is our adopted dive site (ADS323). Until today, our dive site is the only adopted site in Hong Kong!
