Celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8 with Scuba Diving's 10 tips!

1 ) Don't Be Trashy

Rather than litter wrappers and other unwanted materials, make use of trash and recyclable containers. Or do one better, and pick up trash and recyclable material when you see it misplaced.

2 ) Educate Your Way

Educate individuals about the importance of the ocean, whether that importance is providing a fresh-caught dinner or helping us breathe (ocean plants produce about half of the Earth’s oxygen).

3 )Watch Your Water Waste
