Avalon Harbor Underwater Cleanup
Join NLS at the Avalon Harbor Clean Up! RSVP below to receive more information on the cleanup.
Availability: In Stock
Every year, the Avalon Harbor in Catalina Island is open to divers for one day, and one day only. Divers from all around come to help pull debris out of the harbor that have accumulated over the year. There are prizes given for the most interesting items retrieved from the harbor as well as raffle prizes that include dive gear, trips, etc.
Kelly and Chris from the NLS staff take a trip every year to the Island to participate in this fun event and we love when our scuba family joins in on the fun. The bonus is after the clean-up event we get unlimited dives at the marine park right next door. This is not only a great way to experience beautiful California diving, but its also a great way to do your part to help the underwater environment!
