"The Heart of Fresh Waters"

Saving Freshwater Quarries ♻️

Friends and everyone who cares about our freshwater bodies! 💧💙

My name is Natalya, and I’m a PADI Instructor from RuDIVE diving center in Russia. Together with my team, I work on cleaning and preserving freshwater environments — quarries, rivers, and lakes. 🐟🌿 We regularly carry out environmental actions in support of the international PADI AWARE foundation, raising awareness about pollution and showing that everyone can make a real difference.

Throughout our work, we have conducted more than 14 clean-up events and removed over 550 kg of trash from underwater. ♻️ Our dives take place in challenging conditions: murky water, thick layers of silt, very low visibility, and in winter the temperature can drop to 0°C. ❄️🤿 Despite this, we keep going because we see real results and understand how important it is to protect aquatic ecosystems. 🌍✨

We now need your support to continue our mission. 🙌 We are organizing a fundraiser in support of PADI AWARE, so we can carry out more environmental clean-ups, promote ecological awareness, and help preserve freshwater ecosystems that suffer from pollution every day. 💚

Freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable on our planet 🌍💧. Fish, amphibians, and other inhabitants of rivers, lakes, and quarries 🐟🐸 face serious threats from pollution ♻️, habitat loss 🌿, and poaching 🚫.

Funds raised for freshwater animal protection programs will be used to:

• restore and clean water bodies 💦

• create shelters for rare species 🏠🐠

• carry out rescue operations in drying or polluted areas 🛟

• support educational and anti-poaching campaigns 📚❌

Together, we can protect these fragile ecosystems and keep our waters alive! 💚🌊

If our mission resonates with you, please support us with a donation or help by sharing this information — even the smallest contribution helps keep our waters clean and alive. 💦🐠

Thank you to everyone who stands with us! 💙🙏
