![]() ![]() You can help spread the word by sharing the picture on social media using the hashtag #PforPlastic, print and hang the poster in your dive center or use and teach the hand signal to other divers. The goal of this hand signal is to encourage as many divers around the world to spread awareness and take action against the plastic plague that our ocean is facing right now. This signal can be used by divers under water to let their buddies know that they see plastic and they want to pick it up. This is why a group of diving companies and divers, together with the Plastic Soup Foundation, are introducing a new hand signal: The P for Plastic. As a diver, you are constantly confronted with the ongoing decay and damaged state of the sea and the coral reefs. If nothing changes, by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. It’s a disaster for underwater life and a threat to what we love doing – diving!ĭivers use underwater hand signals for squid, turtles and sharks, but not yet for the largest polluter in our ocean – plastic. The plastic soup is also causing coral reefs to get sick because plastic works as a magnet attracting toxins.
