Join Get-N-Wet Scuba as we host a trash cleanup of Memorial Lake in collaboration with PA DCNR. Volunteers may sign up as a member of either the wet or dry team. Wet team members will be snorkeling and scuba diving the shore line of the lake under the supervision of a team captain. Dry team members will follow along the shore the line from trails collecting litter and consolidating trash at a designated drop-off point. 

At the end of the day, DCNR will be weighing and recording the trash we collected as a part of a long-term seasonal trash metric. This will help the rangers determine how much trash the lake collects over the course of a season. 

Our meeting location will be at the Middle Road boat ramp located here.

Whether you're looking to get wet or stay dry, come for the day or stay for a few hours, your efforts help conserve a community resource we all hold dear. Call the dive center if you have any questions.

Event Requirements:

  • All participants must register no later than April 6th.

  • All divers and snorkelers must submit their certification information to derek@getnwetscuba.com

  • Dress for the weather and conditions you expect around a lake; mud, hiking, cool water

  • Bring water and dress in layers

  • Trash bags and disposable gloves will be provided

  • Those interested in being captains should email derek@getnwetscuba.com
