SDG session at BAZ-RRR

Last week we were part of a presentation organized by BAZ-RRR galleria & brasserie on the opening night of FUTARA’s Immerse innovation week. We were very excited to be in a room with so many intelligent people who all have the same goal: Make a global impact by making many small & local changes.

Just like the other speakers, we informed the people who were there about the ScubbleBubbles. So we told them what we do (Coral restoration, reef surveys, beach cleanups, reef cleanups etc.) and why we’re doing it. Of course we also told them what they can do to help Aruba’s reefs.

We were honored to be a part of this information night and we hope to give many more presentations, just like this one, in the near future.

As part of FUTURA’s Immerse week, they opened the Futura Cafe – a place for innovators to meet and inspire each other. They also opened SPACES. SPACES is kind of like a gallery or immersive art exhibit with impactful and engaging pieces. We are excited to have been given a ‘space’ to illustrate what is happening to the oceans. We also have some 360 videos from our coral nursery loaded on VR headsets! Come check it out, for free! Spaces is open Monday-Friday from 3- 8pm downtown at Caya G.F. Betico Croes 16-18 (former Shana).

Our first information night

Hi there!

We recently organized an information night at the International School of Aruba. We were thrilled to see that many young students stopped by to listen to us. We informed them about the importance of coral reefs and what actions and events are damaging them. If you want to know more about this, feel free to ask us!

We also told them what we, as a non-profit organization, are doing to protect Aruba’s coral reefs. We were also very excited to inform these pupils about our scholarship program. Since diving isn’t cheap, we are offering scholarships to three students. This means that three students, who will be selected based on their motivational letter and video, will be able to get their open water certification (PADI) without having to pay $500.

If you couldn’t make it to this information night, you do not have to worry. The members of Scubblebubbles and the board of directors are always ready to answer any of your questions. You can do that by sending an email to [email protected] or by selecting ‘contact us’ on our website. This information night will most definitely not be the last one! We will organize many more every once in a while to inform people about our upcoming projects.

Scubblebubbles is growing every day and we’re only getting started. We have many projects coming up which we are very excited about. Great things are coming.

Stay tuned!
