First Annual Scrub and Grub

Serenity Diving and the Gulliver Prep Scuba club participated in the first annual Divers Direct Scrub and Grub this past weekend. Just in case you have no idea what I’m talking about, first you go out and clean or “Scrub” a reef, then you head back to Divers Direct for the cookout or “Grub”. It was a great way to do some good, have a little friendly competition between dive groups, help the environment and get fat. The best part was the reasonable price and raffle and prize for most trash picked up, measured by weight. One of the guys from the UM dive club scored a nice Apeks legend regulator for bringing up an old anchor and other stuff that totalled about 40 pounds, not bad. Pamela Wilson, manager of the Key Largo store says the event was a big success and they have plans to have more of the cleanups in the future. Billy Catoggio of Scubanation.com was onboard the Giant Stride out of Key Dives in Islamorada, shooting lots of video. Overall the 28 divers along with Captain Mike scored well with 150 total pounds of total trash removed from the reef. Keep an eye on the blog and we’ll let you know when the next trip is.

Keep breathing and stay safe.
