Diving for the Solution to Pollution

Central Oregon Diving shares the ecological impacts of water pollution.

As trash and debris from our local water sources makes its way to the ocean, Central Oregon Diving is making local efforts to clean these water ways, in conjunction with Upper Deschutes Watershed Council. Learn how other organizations work globally on plastic and debris removal projects and how you can help.
