SeaStar Hero by DiveOut is a fun outdoor activity that makes Poreč a unique destination for an active family vacation. We bring objects that don’t belong there out of the sea and thus do a good deed for our planet, and by participating in this activity, you show how caring for nature can be fun and accessible to everyone.
We offer you the opportunity to get to know Poreč and its underwater in a completely new way – you can do good deeds, win prizes and become a famous SeaStar Hero, an honorary member of our community.
We encourage you to enjoy diving and offer you equipment to collect the waste discovered during this exciting activity!
We are looking for heroes that everyone in Poreč will admire and nature will love!
If you participate:
Your ability to swim and dive is important, and it is certainly good to have your mask, snorkel and fins at hand. To begin with, you need to contact the person in charge of safety on our beaches (s/he is usually located on elevated beach guard look-outs, dressed in yellow), and announce your participation in the SeaStar Hero by DiveOut activity. If s/he is away or on some sort of intervention, do not take action because the beach guard will provide you with additional equipment for removing marine debris (net and protective gloves) and will keep an eye on you.
Take a deep breath in and go for it!
This is the deal: you contribute positively to the environment and Nature is grateful to you, which is the most important thing, but in addition we reward you!
Every hero, including you, who returns the equipment and brings the surfaced waste to the person in charge of safety on the beaches, wins a badge. That will be proof of your courage and big heart!
If you try even harder, and collect a larger amount of waste from the sea, you win the incredible prestigious title of SeaStar Hero and a t-shirt that will grant you a number of benefits for 1 day. The T-shirt will contain the date in the next 14 days for which these benefits are valid. Don’t forget to remind the person who gives you the T-shirt to enter the date and wear it when you go to town! This is how you’ll enjoy the whole day as a SeaStar Hero, the whole Poreč will notice you, cheer you on, and compete to see who will host and surprise you better!
Prizes are valid until project supplies last! That’s why if you or your family member won a shirt this season, leave the opportunity for others to do the same. Thank you!
Before diving, be sure to contact the nice person in yellow who takes care of our safety from the elevated tiny beach guard look-outs, carefully read and follow the safety tips. You know how it works, if you want to have a good time, you have to take the rules seriously.
You can participate in the period from 15. 6. to 15. 9. (or until the project supplies run out), every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the beach:
It is very important that we also include other potential heroes in the action so that our seabed shines. That's why we ask you to take a picture with your catch and share the photo with #seastarhero
