Divers who protect the ocean are cool after all!

Hello, I'm Hokule'a Shonan!
Today, I'd like to tell you a little bit about what we're working on, Dive Against Yellowtail.

The other day, my friends and I dived together into the sea in Shizuura, Shizuoka Prefecture, and dived to collect garbage in the water.
Take a look at this group photo taken after the activity!
Isn't everyone really cool?

The reason we think it's "cool" isn't just how it looks.
I hope that we will come to an age where "picking up trash" will be taken for granted and seen as something to be proud of.
That's what we have in mind.

🌊 Diving is a special time to connect with the sea.
When you dive, you will be soothed by the tranquility and beauty of the water.
You will also notice that there is garbage produced by people in the sea.
Plastic bags, plastic bottles, pieces of fishing gear... There is also a reality that makes you want to look away.

In such a situation, there is something that only divers can do.
We believe so.

Picking up trash can be sobering.
But it's an action to protect the oceans of the future.
And don't you think it's very cool?

🪸 Protecting the ocean should be part of the appeal of diving.
Protecting the environment isn't just for special people.
There are many things that you can feel and do because you are a diver.
For those of us who live with the sea, the act of "protecting" is Nature.
That may be the image of a "cool" diver in the future.

Don't take out trash and pick it up.
Both of these are steps towards protecting our oceans.

Hokule'a Shonan will continue these activities in the future.
If you like the ocean, why don't you start doing something "a little good for the earth" together?

[Notice 📢 of start of skin diving course] Hello! From this summer, Hokule'a Shonan will start a new "skin diving course" 🫧 Many of you may be wondering, "What is skin diving?" Skin diving is a diving style in which you dive into the Water with "only your own breath" without using a tank like Scuba Diving. It is similar to so-called "Diving with bare hands", but it is very important not only to dive, but also to have the skills and knowledge to enjoy it safely. For example, by properly learning how to breathe properly, how to remove ears, posture in water, and how to dive, you will be 🌿 able to enjoy it much more comfortably and with peace of mind The appeal of skin diving is "lightness" and "freedom". Because there are few equipment, you can directly experience a sense of unity with your body and the sensation of water, and you will feel as if you are one with the sea. It's perfect for those who say, "I like the sea, but scuba seems a bit of a hurdle ..." Of course, it is also recommended 🐬 for experienced scuba players as a new way to enjoy it This course is designed so that even beginners can participate with confidence. We will support you carefully, so please feel free to contact us 😊 if you are not confident in swimming or are worried about removing your ears 🌊 \Skin Course and Skin Tour Held In Date/ 📍Saturday, June 28 📍July 12 (Sat) - 13 (Sun) Lake Suganuma Skin Tour 📍Saturday, July 19 Held in on request in addition to the above dates! If you would like to be able to participate on this day, please contact us 🙌 Let's 💙 experience the "breathtakingly beautiful" world of the sea together We look forward to your participation! #SkinDiving #FreedivingJapan #TrySkinDiving

Thinking about the future of the oceans and what we can do on World Environment Day Hello, this is 🌊 Hokule'a Shonan June 5 is World Environment Day 🌏 For those of us who face the sea every day and work to deliver the charm of the sea, This is a special day with a very important meaning. When you hear the word "environmental issues," you may feel that it is a distant story. Issues that should be addressed by the government and companies, and what experts should consider It's easy to think like that. The truth is that environmental issues do not belong to "anyone" but to each of us. For example, straws and plastic shopping bags from convenience stores that you used casually. Even if you think you have thrown it away properly, it will be blown away by the wind and washed away by the rain. Thereare you may end up in the sea. As a result, more and more plastic waste continues to grow in the ocean. If we don't do anything, It is said that 😢 by 2050, the amount of plastic in the ocean will exceed the amount of fish And the fish that accidentally ate the plastic died, Sea turtles are dying, whales are dying, and seabirds are dying. Is that the kind of future we really want? 🐢🐟🐋🕊️ What we can do doesn't have to be big. However, each of them has the power to change the future in a big way. For example ✅ Don't "opt" for single-use plastic products ✅ "Picking up" plastic waste that has fallen on the Coast Even the smallest actions can eventually lead to big changes. One thing 🌱 you can do today In Hokule'a Shonan, through diving and snorkeling, I feel that it is our mission to focus on and convey both the beauty of the ocean and the challenges we are currently facing. Passing on the beautiful ocean to the next generation. Why don't you start doing just one thing today? #WorldEnvironmentDay #OceanPlastic #OneActionCanChangeTheFuture #ProtectOurOceans #DiveAgainstDebris #PADI #SDGs14 #ProjectAware #HokuleaShonan
