A foggy start to a fantastic day!


Despite the thickest fog I think any of us have ever seen in Newquay, Our Atlantic Diver Fundraising boat trips still went ahead in trooper style today and proved to be a great success! We raised £168 towards our target which is a fantastic boost to our current total!
We saw loads of great sea birds, gannets, shearwaters, guilimots, common shags, cormorants, black backed gulls, oystercatchers and a grey seal even put in an appearance!
We really want to extend a huge THANKYOU to Chris&Annabelle Lowe for donating the trips, their support has played an integral part in this Projects success so far and we can’t thank them enough for their continued support and enthusiasm for the project.

Regards
Nicole&Nicola

Latest fundraising events: Sea Safari's & Great White Shark Dive!


Hi All,

Just a quick update from me on our latest fundraising events :)

Our Sea Safari and Fishing trips kindly Donated by Chris & Annabelle Lowe from Atlantic Divers leaving Newquay Harbour on 27th March at 9am and 11am are selling fast so anyone still wanting to join one or both of the trips please book soon as spaces are limited. This is a fantastic opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the cornish coasts beautiful marine creatures and sea birds and also help out the Tag a Turtle project, should be a brilliant day!

Also I'm off to South Africa to Dive with Great White Sharks on the 10th April 2011 with Marine Dynamics Shark Tours in aid of the Tag a Turtle project! I've already managed to raise £45 in sponsorship towards the Project which is great news but hoping to raise alot more so anyone wanting to sponsor my event please do so via the form on our get involved page.
The company I will be diving with are part of the Shark Watch South Africa Program who are actively involved with Shark research and marine eco-system conservation in South Africa. The also offer community support and job opportunities by providing local people with employment on the boat and in research internships as well as educational programs in the local towns and communities which is vital in all conservation work. So as well as supporting the Tag a Turtle project your contribution will also be helping us to raise awareness of all marine species at risk and highlighting the plight of not only turtle conservation but shark conservation too.

Once again thank you to everyone who has supported our project and continues to do so!

Kind Regards
Nicole :)
