Dive Against Debris Coming To Gulf State Park

Alabama State Parks is calling snorkelers, divers and water enthusiasts to participate in Dive Against Debris at the Gulf State Park Saltwater Pier on October 18 at 8 a.m. The event aims to improve the health of the underwater ecosystem by removing trash, fishing line and other debris from beneath the pier while it is temporarily closed for the cleanup effort. “Whether you’re an experienced diver or a beginner snorkeler, this is a fantastic opportunity to give back to our beautiful waters. Plus, you’ll have fun while doing it, get free hot dogs and could even win some great prizes!” Alabama State Parks said. Hosting partner Down Under Dive Shop is offering free rental tanks for certified divers and snorkel gear for non-divers. Gulf Shores lifeguards and public safety divers will be present, along with the Orange Beach Marine Police boat, to help ensure safety. For more information, call 251-948-7275, ext. 62093
