Last month, 633 divers took part in the largest mass subaquatic clean up of a section of seabed in Florida. The divers, equipped with aqualungs, picked up litter from the sea floor near the Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier. They set up a world record, which was overseen by Guinness officiator Michael Empric, and ended up retrieving at least 1,626 pounds of trash and 60 pounds of fishing line.
