At Pocna Dive Center, we’re always looking for ways to make diving a little greener — and our latest eco-idea might be our favorite yet. Inspired by the Green Fins community, we’ve started using fresh Aloe Vera leaves as a 100% natural, ocean-friendly mask defog. It works beautifully, keeps harmful chemicals out of the sea, and even grows right in our own little “defog garden.” Small changes like this help keep our reefs — and our masks — crystal clear. 🌿💦

Powerful and provocative, this sculpture challenges divers and snorkelers alike to reflect on what we value—and what we ignore.
