Hey, all - thought this looked like a get-together opportunity for a good cause. I'll be bringing the diveyak as a support for lifting and tanks... anybody ever used a hooka? I'll be speaking with each of the underwater cleanups but feel free to contact cordinators directly.
See the following url and then look for any of the underwater cleanup opportunities - there are several.

Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful (KPBCB) is making plans for the Annual Florida Coastal Cleanup to be held on Saturday, September 20, 2003 at numerous locations throughout Palm Beach County. The event is a project of The Ocean Conservancy, the world's largest organization focusing exclusively on the health of the marine environment.
KPBCB is especially proud of the unique educational aspect of this cleanup - the documentation of marine debris. The collection of this data by cleanup volunteers of all ages and the resulting report prepared by The Ocean Conservancy is used in the following ways:
-To raise awareness of the quantities and types of marine debris;
-To determine the various sources of marine debris;
-To evaluate the impact of marine debris on wildlife and habitat;
-To assist in the enforcement of regulations against illegal dumping;
-To influence industries that manufacture products that cause harm to the marine environment.
