What would you say to a Santa Monica Pier clean-up dive? I'm thinking, close the pier to fishing for one weekend. Draw #'s to see which team goes first, second, etc. Have prizes for most trash, best trash, most unique piece of junk, along those lines. Divide the entry times up by # of entries, so each team gets a equal minute start over the next team in the order. Maybe run it for eighteen hours, so some would be night dives.


Any tips, suggestions, reasons it won't work, reasons it will work?
 
You might want to see what is lined up for Coastal Cleanup in mid-September. There are usually two underwater sites === Santa Monica pier and Redondo pier. I haven't looked yet, but there might be something on the Heal the Bay website -www.healthebay.org. Oddly enough, both of these sites get nasty grades for water quality even in dry weather.
 
We so something similar here in Austin every year. Hundreds of divers pull mountains of trash out of the lake every year.
