Today Sheila and I joined N Depth Scuba to help out with Project Aware's International Clean Up Day out at Lake Pleasant. It is really quite amazing the amount of garbage that people just throw in the water. It doesn't matter whether it's in a lake or the ocean, trash is hazardous to aquatic life and just plain disgusting. Sheila worked on the shore and picked up everything from beer cans to an abandoned ez-up. After doing a couple of checkout dives with some Open Water students, I picked up trash underwater with a couple of other divers. In about 15 minutes we had a bag full of trash. We picked up everything from beer cans, shoes, waist bands from underwear, and even a dive mask minus the glass. Here is a link to some photos that Sheila took at the lake:
