Blue Water Ventures International, Inc., (“BWV” or the “Company”) (OTCPK: BWVI), a historic shipwreck research and recovery company that locates and recovers lost underwater treasures dated from pre-colonial times to our recent past, announced today that during the 2016 calendar year it has converted $566,500 of debt and liabilities into restricted equity of the Company, leaving the Company better-positioned for long-term growth and profitability. Of the amounts converted, $200,000 represented debt owed to Keith Webb, the Company’s chief executive officer.

Mr. Webb stated, “We are pleased to convert these outstanding notes to restricted equity as the conversions reduce our debt, strengthen our balance sheet, and position us better for long-term success. We are grateful for the support of these creditors and their belief in our near and long term prospects.”

The Company's related notes payable and convertible notes payable were reduced from $759,363 and $1,188,501 as of December 31, 2015 to $551,968 and $791,501, respectively, as of June 30, 2016. “While the levels of our outstanding payables and debt as of the end of our second quarter are still higher than we would like, our efforts to further reduce our liabilities and debt are ongoing and we expect to make further progress in the upcoming quarters,” continued Mr. Webb.
