LIMITED SPACES
There are limited spaces available for the clean-up dives based on a first come, first served basis. You must register to join the event, and you must have current or renewed EDA Membership.
THE EAST COAST DIVE CENTRES
We would like to give you the opportunity to choose your dive centre of preference, provided spaces are still available when you book:
DIVE EQUIPMENT RENTALS
Your dive is part of your EDA Membership, but you will be responsible to organise your own dive equipment and payment for the rental with the dive centre you will be booked with.
MEMBERS’ IMMEDIATE FAMILY MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE BEACH CLEAN-UP
Spouses with children who are non-divers will be able to take part in the beach clean-up, please make sure to register them (please provide their full names) for this activity as this will entitle them entry to the event’s lunch with you (this is only valid to your immediate family – husband/wife/kids).
PLEASE TAKE PHOTOS
We will ask you to please take lots of photos and share them with us for the upcoming December magazine issue and our social media platforms. We need them emailed to magazine@emiratesdiving.com as high resolution jpegs so we can cover all your team participation with all the clean-up results you will be collecting. A group photo of all your team with all the marine debris you have collected is a must.
CLEANUP ARABIA’S STORY
Emirates Diving Association (EDA) has been running Cleanup Arabia since its inception in 1995, a voluntary campaign that annually cleans-up the UAE’s dive sites and beaches with EDA Members and Partners working together, side by side.
The campaign is made up of EDA Members and stakeholders that participate in dive site and coastal clean-ups which help shape their consciousness concerning marine litter and saying no to single-use plastics!
INSPIRING CHANGE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER
We have created a sustainable T-shirt brand design and only new CUA participants will receive a T-shirt for all future Cleanup Arabia events. Participants who were part of CUA 2018 and 2019, are to REUSE their T-shirts for future events.
All participants are to bring their own REUSABLE water bottles to refill at the water stations as part of our sustainable responsibilities.
