Beach cleanup drives have always benefitted water bodies at a larger scale and this time it was about an underwater cleanup drive. 633 scuba divers got together near the Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier to clear litter from the ocean floor. They were not only successful in their mission but, also set a new Guinness World Record for the biggest underwater cleanup.
The scuba divers stayed in the water for 15 minutes to be counted. Michael Empric, a Guinness adjudicator even came to New York City to count the number of scuba divers who participated in the drive as reported by Sun Sentinel.
The underwater clean-up drive was organized by Dixie Divers. The previous record was set by 614 divers and the drive was hosted in 2015 at the Red Sea, Egypt by Ahmed Gabr. The increase in the headcount tells us how more people have become conscious about water contamination.
Such clean-up drives must be organized in every country for people to understand the seriousness of water pollution. The more the awareness the closer we’ll get towards eliminating contamination around us.
