Dive In To Earth Day is an international Earth Day celebration that promotes the active conservation of coral reefs, oceans, and aquatic ecosystems, and raises public awareness of the importance of marine conservation. The vast majority of Earth Day events take place on land, so in order to ensure that the 70% of the planet covered by water is not forgotten, the Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) and its partners launched Dive In in April 2000. Dive In activities take place during the month of April, in celebration of Earth Day (April 22). On April 20th, 2008 NAS JAX Scuba divers in cooperation with Camp Blanding Joint Training Center held our first Dive In For Earth Day.
