A group of out-of-town divers were in Chilliwack recently to haul trash out of Cultus Lake.
Members of Divers for Cleaner Lakes and Oceans removed 470 pounds of trash from the lake during a two-day haul last month. The group is a dedicated team of volunteer scuba divers who remove garbage from local waters in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley areas.
On March 28 and 29 four divers, most of whom are from North Vancouver, cleaned the waters in front of Entrance Bay and the campground area at Sunnyside.
In a 15-minute video documenting the cleanup, Henry Wang (who shot the video) is seen along with the others before, during and after the dive.
Footage from underneath the water shows Wang picking up beer cans, golf balls, hats and more.
The team also found car rims (typically used as anchors) paddles, pillows, dishes, plastic cups and a metal garbage can.
But the B次元官网网址渟trangestB次元官网网址 item they found was a knee brace, he said.
Later in the video Wang holds up a white beer can with just the word B次元官网网址渂eerB次元官网网址 written on it in large, black letters. Although thereB次元官网网址檚 no indication as to what type of beer had been inside the can, there was some other information written on it.
B次元官网网址淭he only thing we can find on here is at the top, and it says B次元官网网址榩lease donB次元官网网址檛 litter,B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址 Wang said.
B次元官网网址淵ou had one job and you screwed it up!B次元官网网址 he said with a laugh.
In total, over the two days, the dive team pulled nearly 500 pounds of trash from Cultus Lake.
B次元官网网址淲hat a great day,B次元官网网址 he said as the sun shone brightly. B次元官网网址淎nd it all came from that beautiful lake.B次元官网网址
