Hello everybody! I am in the Central Florida area and am looking for any clean-up dive groups/volunteer programs/etc. to join up with to go out an help clean up our oceans, lakes, and springs! Is there anything like this around Florida that is an active group?

We did a river cleanup on the Sante Fe years ago. I’m not sure if they’re still doing it. Might check with the Springs Institute in High Springs.
The Suncoast Reef Rovers out of Venice does several cleanups a year.

I participated in this one a few years ago.
A fishing charter donated his services for divers to go out at no cost. We had a lot of fun pulling up trash, anchors, etc from the Pecks Lake (ocean side) area in Martin County. I'm definitely going to do it again next year.

Reach out to Sea Experience in Ft Lauderdale. I believe they do weekly cleanup dives.
While you are at it look at Trshbg. An amazing dive bag to put trash in while diving. Trshbg – Every diver and surfer an ocean cleaner
I’m not affiliated with trshbg, just a fan and think everyone should own one.

Bryyyzeee, did you ever hook up with any clean up dives? I live near Marineland FL - love diving but want my diving to have a little more work to it and less sightseeing.... Let me know - it would be good to set up some kind of announcement section on the Scubaboard just for when and where these clean ups were happening and details about them...
