Distinguished by literally dozens of awards and nominations, this movie has developed a cult following of ocean and animal lovers as well as

environmental conservationists worldwide. Full of adventure, covert investigative journalism, provocative imagery, celebrity activism, and espionage this film is sure to capture your attention and heart. It chronicles Rick O'Barry's life work with dolphins and his transition from Flipper's trainer to dolphin protector. A team of freedivers, activists and filmmakers join Rick to expose the horrific dolphin slaughter in Taiji and bring this story to the world with a strong but gentle reminder of our impact on this planet that we share. To recognize Rick O'Barry's contribution to dolphin conservation, in 1991 OʼBarry received the 'Environmental Achievement Award' presented by the United States Committee for the United Nations Environmental Program (US/UNEP). Come and prepare to be inspired! www.thecovemovie.com/

She will be hosting a Q&A session at 7:00pm, immediately prior to the screening.

Following the movie screening, Craig Tsuyumine, of Save Japan Dolphins, will be making a short presentation and offering some time for Q&A for those particularly moved to learn more about the tragedy at Taiji. www.SaveJapanDolphins.com

Power Scuba's intentions for this event include creating and fostering awareness and sensitivity to the conditions of ocean denizens in general and the plight of the Japanese dolphins in particular. As a group of dedicated local scuba divers, ocean conservation is at the forefront of their conscience and is recognized as a priority both locally and globally to continue enjoying the oceans in their most healthy state. In Power Scuba, certifications run from very advanced (instructor and tech ratings) to the brand new diver. All divers are welcome. www.meetup.com/Scuba-Diving-San-Diego/
