Success at last? http://www.goingdownonline.com/day-88-in-the-gulf-success-at-last/ http://www.goingdownonline.com/day-88-in-the-gulf-success-at-last/#comments Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:24:09 +0000 Sarah http://www.goingdownonline.com/?p=563 It’s day 88 in the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill.
BP got a cap on the spill overnight and President Obama is giving a speech about the cap.
The cap is working right now, holding back the flow. However, they don’t know if this is going to work. It might build up too much pressure and blow the cap, or worse, break something further down. Everyone has their fingers crossed that this does work. 88 days of oil in the Gulf of Mexico has had devastating effects on the wildlife and the livelihoods of people who make their living in the Gulf.

If you were planning a scuba trip this year, consider going to the Gulf. There are plenty of operators still running dive trips. There’s so many beautiful places to stay and lots of beaches are still clean. Let’s help keep the dive operators in the Gulf of Mexico in business.
