Awareness and a request for help

[DivrBikr]

A friend of mine has asked me to assist him in bringing an issue to the attention of as many divers as possible.

Below is a link to this issue.

My friend, Drew Wheeler, is slated to be a crew member and videographer on a research vessel to this "Pacific ocean garbage swirley". He is looking for funding help. I know that times are financially difficult for many, myself included.

He can be contacted through several different medias.

Mahalo Buddy for posting this!
I know you guys mostly dive in the Mucky Muck, so I promise to bring back some real blue water diving video.....200ft+ viz and 14k ft of water beneath you....it's pretty cool! But most important I hope to bring incontestable proof of the problems growth.
Mahalo again,

You are quite welcome my friend. I hope others will follow. I look forward to your up-coming reports, pictures and videos. Good luck to you and your mission!

Well you can give me the equipment I need if you want, that way I am not getting paid as you claim!

Nice to see you have infected this thread too!!!

You going to continue the pointless replies while hiding?

I'm interested in researching the plausibility of this myth myself. I'm in need of $20,000 for airfare, boat charter, gear and a film crew. If anyone is interested in funding my mission please PM me.

The myth debunked here:
The Sargasso Sea and the Pacific Garbage Patch

In summary: "The answer is simple: No such floating island of trash exists."

If you really want to do that great...it will cost a whole lot more than $20,000.00 for what you are asking....Boat charter alone runs 1200/day times 60 days...you do the math!
Good luck with your idea.

Now I understand why you hide behind "bluebubble"....it probably wouldn't be too smart to go public with the crap you write.

p.s. I don't think "God" appreciates what you are doing, by mocking legitimate research to help protect what you yourself called "Gods earth"

Maybe you are right. I figured I could find the 545,000 square mile floating island of plastic in a week. If I can get enough donations I could look for it for the rest of my life. Keep the money coming people!

Where did this "floating island of plastic" idea come from anyway. I haven't read or said anything that claimed it was a "floating island."
Talk about exaggeration! Wasn't that your original complaint?
