What have we been up to?
Sponsored by the Eilat Municipality and the 4The Gulf association from Eilat, this morning about 20 volunteer divers came to clean the sea, near the luxury hotel “Royal Beach” in Eilat. The amount of trash that was taken out of the sea, also amazed the veteran divers. Our gratitude to the volunteers, the beach lifeguards, the Eilat Municipality inspectors, and Diving Center Marina Divers.

As part of the Tu BeShvat celebrations in Eilat, the 4THE GULF association held a festive event for the benefit of the coral reefs.
The association's divers, along with volunteer divers, scanned the seabed and collected part of the "Treasures of the Red Sea".
While diving, we removed an amount of trash that even caught the eyes of surprised passers-by.
We express our thanks to the volunteers, Neut Smadar divers, the beach lifeguards, the Marina Divers Club and Edmond for the refreshments.
We would love for more divers to join our future activities.
במסגרת אירועי חג האילנות באילת, עמותת 4THE GULF, קיימה אירוע חגיגי לטובת שוניות האלמוגים.
צוללי העמותה, בתגבור של צוללים מתנדבים, סרקו את קרקעית הים ואספו מהקרקעית, חלק מ ''אוצרות הים האדום''.
בצלילה הוצאנו כמות של אשפה שהפתיעה גם עוברי אורח שעברו ונדהמו.
תודה רבה למתנדבים, לצוללי נאות סמדר, למצילי החוף, למועדון מרינה דיוורס ולאדמונד על הכיבוד.
נשמח להצטרפות צוללים למבצעים הבאים.

Yes! The war is not over!
Not this one... This is our "war" for the wellbeing of the Gulf. This time 4THEGULF divers from Eilat, with the help of volunteer divers, fought bravely against the Israeli trash culture.
A "stain" of underwater trash was discovered near the sailing club in Eilat. Fearing that this garbage, through the currents, would find its place in the middle of the sea, we responded to the request of the Nature and Parks Authority, and quickly organized a group of divers.
At the end of the dive, the divers reported huge amounts of trash that should be removed
as quickly as possible.
We want to thank all the volunteers and divers, who responded swiftly and came on such a short notice. You are the real heroes of the day.
Our next dive will be on Saturday - January 27, 2024.
We will be celebrating Tu Be'Shvat- The Jewish Holiday of Nature!
