Traveling, diving with friends, participating exciting events… all missed out sadly.However, we cannot ignore the fact that this negative situation is creating something positive in large scale. When we human beings limited activities and totally stepped out of nature, the beautiful ocean came back live. All sea creatures including marine mammals like dolphins and whales are travelling back to their original safe HOME. Our ego has mistreated them for long time. As the ocean lovers, we need to realize what we had done and think what we should do from now on.One big theme of Online Diving EXPO 2020 is the “Environment”.The main organizer of this EXPO, United Oceans Pty. Ltd., has focused to this theme for long period of time. We really sympathize with them, but never had a chance to share to public.Covid-19 pandemic made us stop, look back and rethink how we should treat all livings and the ocean environment.You may think that you are not doing anything special, anything BIG to protect the environment.Yes, you are.If you work for a diving shop,Do you offer washable chopsticks to your guests, instead of disposable one? After serving lunch to your guests, do you recycle plastic bento boxes? When you are guiding and finding a trash floating underwater, do you grab and put it into your BCD pocket?Your small actions like these are helping to protect the environment.If you are a diver,Have you ever participated in a Beach Clean event? Have you volunteered in Tohoku for 3.11 - Earthquake relief? Have you said “NO” to plastic bags at store? Do you carry an eco-bag? Finding a harmed dolphin swimming upset you?The small but important action of yours is helping the OCEAN and the EARTH environment.We divers proudly care for the environment. Why don’t we share our thoughts and actions to other people?Online Diving EXPO 2020 is a great opportunity for divers and non-divers. Rise in environmental awareness, discuss what we can do, and make actions together.We hope this EXPO creates a positive virtual space where many ocean lovers meet and care for environment. Online Diving Expo 2020Takaji Ochi, Kaoruko Inou, Taku Hosoya <Event Promoters> 越智隆治・稲生薫子・細谷拓Organizer : United Oceans Pty.
