Kenny, clean up, isle 5!
Last Sunday I attended a clean up duty in Piran. It was planned by Project AWARE foundation through Project Adventure. You can check out some pictures here and here.
While we walked around Piran in full gear and sweating like mad, we finally made it to the “pipe”. We were searching for a fishing net that was dumped near the pipe years ago. While descending, the visibility went quagmire on us pretty fast. I was a hand’s reach away from the bottom and I could barely see it. I would guess that my buddy above me saw nothing. I think he was looking for the 12 m mark the organizer gave us. We swam right of the pipe, and the “smog” eventually cleared. We couldn’t find the net either because we didn’t swim pass it or it was already removed. In any case, I had a garbage bag with me, and we collected some bottles and other litter. We emptied it once and then retired to the diving base where we changed to civilian clothes and got our souvenirs, kudos of the sponsors!
Thanks to all the people who tolerated my presence while staying in Piran.
You’re always welcome here
