This weekend, a group of divers will plunge into the Two Oceans Aquarium ’s I&J Ocean Exhibit for a full 24-hour dive-athon, all for a good cause.The scuba diving relay kicks off from noon on Saturday, 6 April until noon on Sunday, 7 April, aiming to raise funds for the conservation and education work of the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation.
‘It’s about rallying together as a community to make a real difference. The ocean’s our lifeblood, and we see it as our duty to help safeguard its future and get future generations stoked about protecting it.’ Visitors can swing by and witness the divers in action and they can even have a chat with students in the public part of the exhibit.
