A large laminated poster of SASSI\u2019s green, orange and red listed fish was mounted underwater and buddy pairs competed against each other to remember the most fish in their correct categories. 42 was the winning number! <\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/imported\/dress_up.jpg\" class=\"fresco\" data-fresco-caption=\"\" data-fresco-options=\"thumbnails:false\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/saveourseas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/imported\/dress_up.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"840\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8552\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Charlotte Scott, organiser of the Underwater Club, says \u201cI am proud to say that the UCT pool saw a fun-filled 24 hours of cake-eating, coffee-drinking, wrapped-in-sleeping bags, pink-lumo-wig-wearing, bum-flashing, gangnam styling, leopard-print-covered students\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Each participant received a goodie bag filled with a UCT Underwater Club t-shirt, pens and badges from WWF-SASSI, and Save Our Seas \u2018Into The Blue\u2019 coffee table book, wristbands and stickers.
