It was put on by the Alberta Underwater Council.   The weather was beautiful. Between Leianne Shawn and I we pulled up alot of fishing line, some lures, an urn (which appears to be for a pet), a cob of corn and some bottles. Some of the other divers pulled up a full BBQ. One diver found a uncracked bottle of beer and then he proceeded to open it and drink it. It was the funniest but most discusting thing. The beer was a dark brown and had floaties in it.  The worst part of the day was having my camera flood on me. Still not sure what happend. I was able to snap a few pictues on the surface but nothing underwater. None the less it was a great time. While i didn’t win the regs that they raffled off I did win a copy of this years divers almanac.   Looking forward to this weekends Lake Clean up at Lake Chapparal.
