THE OCEAN ISSUE
Beyond leaving the ocean a more pristine place, Pavan was pleased the event brought a more diverse population to put on scuba gear. “This was very positive for scuba diving. We attracted lots of young divers, which is a big thing,” he said. “Diving shows are usually all old people. This event brought lots of teenagers, people in their 20s, and families with kids looking to get certified for next year’s event.”

Next year? Does this mean they will try to get more than 633 divers to clean up Deerfield Beach’s pier in 2020? ”Every year we try to do something new. I don’t think it makes sense to break the same record,” he said. “I’m looking at some other ideas. We want to do something special for next year. We want to keep pushing to get more people involved.”
