We hope that everyone is really well. We are good, been busy and been missing everyone!!!
It's been incredibly hot here and we are experiencing some bleaching which is due to the elevated sea temperature. FYI, bleaching is when the corals expel the (zooxanthellae) algae living in their tissues. The algae is what gives the coral it's color so when it's bleached, it gets very pale and then turns completely white.
Simon has been out documenting the bleaching at different dive sites to help out with some global research.

I've been running up-cycling workshops and taking DMC's out, nothing out of the ordinary to be honest. I've had lots of internship inquiries which is brilliant and have been in touch with a lot of schools that want to send large groups over, early next year. Not keen on the kids bit, but it's all money LOL

I really enjoy up-cycling and it's great to reuse things ....we need to recycle, up-cycle and use our imagination and move away from this disposable world we live in ...well I don't LOL
