HAPPY WORLD OCEANS DAY! 🌎🌊🤿

As divers, the ocean is our playground, but have you ever thought about why the ocean is important to our planet?

The air we breathe: The ocean produces over half of the world's oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. Climate regulation: Covering 70 percent of the Earth's surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns. 🙌 -

👉Interested in learning more about the ocean?

May is National Water Safety Month

Most are drawn to the water starting in spring (some of us year-round!). Whether families and friends are interested in camping around lakes and rivers, or splashing in private and public pools, being safe around the water is essential.

Obey public and personal rules around water. We encourage the first rule is asking permission before jumping or walking into the water.

- Once permission is granted, maintain constant supervision, regardless of the age or depth of water, regardless of the use of flotation devices.

- Encourage the buddy system in the water. Increase any and all chances that someone can tell the difference between play and needing help.

- Wear rashguards and put on sunscreen. Stay hydrated. Wear life jackets, especially when fishing and boating.

** Learn to Swim ** - If not from us, anyone! Our guiding principal is to promote safety and education with the water.. regardless of the way you choose to have fun in it!

So, tell us! Have you re-introduced any tips with your family yet? Or do they remain a constant? Be safe out there and have fun!

Who's in? Somebody get a plane ready!😃

If you don't know who this please look up Sea Hunt and enjoy!
