Reef Check’s marine conservation work wouldn’t be possible without the help of our wonderful Buddy Breathing program partners. These California dive shops provide vital support for our volunteers and mission, allowing us to get in the water and get it done. We want to give them a shout out for having our back through the years!
One of them is Bamboo Reef Scuba Diving Centers, a great dive shop based in San Francisco and Monterey.
Here’s what they have to say:
“At Bamboo Reef, we strive to help every diver become the best diver they can be!
Before our divers are signed off, we ensure that they’re confident and comfortable in the water; that they dive safely, are relaxed, and are in control at all times. However, we also hope to instill an appreciation of our oceans and the effect we can have on them both in and out of the water.
Our friends at Reef Check are on the front lines when it comes to the more drastic issues our oceans are currently facing, especially the decline of our kelp forests and rocky reefs here on the California coastline. By supporting Reef Check and their divers, we support the ongoing restoration and data collection projects that fuel the educated decisions scientists use to protect our coastlines and the treasured kelp forests many of us call home.”
Thank you, Bamboo Reef, for backing Reef Check and the local dive community!
