350 Scuba Divers to Participate in Relay with President Mohammed Nasheed

An organization by the name of 350.org has been created to raise awareness about climate change around the world.  The number 350 was chosen as climate change experts have stated that the concentration carbon dioxide in the air must be reduced to 350 parts per million, in order to avoid irreversible damage to the world.

The Republic of the Maldives is thought to be the most endangered nation of all, and as such, the Maldives’ contribution to 350.org is a significant one.  Scuba diving President Nasheed of the Maldives, who held the world’s first underwater meeting earlier this week, is to lead a 24-hour scuba diving relay in the world’s largest recorded scuba diving event ever recorded.
