THRASH til we SPLASH!

As we all looked for ways to relieve stress during the difficult period of social distancing and confinement, FORCE BLUE came up with a fun, irreverent way for divers, ocean enthusiasts and anyone who cares about our marine environment to stay fit, reconnect with their passion and have a few laughs at the same time.

Each week from the end of April until Memorial Day, a Special Operations Veteran from FORCE BLUE shared a video of themselves performing an exercise or physical activity from the confines of their own home that incorporates SCUBA gear and/or the training they underwent as military combat divers in a unique, light-hearted way.

Viewers were encouraged to film themselves performing the same task and challenge three (3) additional friends to do the same thing.

100% of the donations raised supported FORCE BLUE’s 100 Yards of Hope coral reef restoration mission.
