Dive Project Cornwall welcomes Waterhaul sponsorship

Dive Project Cornwall continues to take pace and has now engaged 259 secondary schools across the UK.

The project, which offers learning resources to schools to educate young people about the importance of the ocean estimate their education programme, has now reached over 250,000 pupils.

The project, which is a not-for-profit community interest company, was launched on 8th June 2021 (World Ocean Day) and has since raised over £180,000 to deliver the educational tools to schools. At the heart of the project is a competition for 20 schools to win a place for 20 of their students to take enjoy life-changing trip to experience the ocean and learn to scuba dive (20 schools, each bring 20 young people = 400 young people).

On hearing of the project, plastic-recycled-material manufacturer and new brand Waterhaul just had to get involved. Striking a new sponsorship deal around their sunglass range, Gavin Parker, Co-founder and COO, says: “We’re really proud to be supporting Dive Project Cornwall and their amazing efforts to offer young people a chance to immerse themselves in the ocean, and learn about the importance of the marine environment. Myself and Harry (Waterhaul’s CEO) have backgrounds in marine conservation and are divers ourselves. Therefore, we fully understand how this is not just an incredibly exciting programme for these teenagers, but also a crucial opportunity to educate the younger generation about the threats faced by marine life, and how they can support conservation efforts to preserve it for future generations”
