More people than ever are doing their part to clean up ocean garbage, even if it means tanking up and scuba diving down under the ocean to get it themselves, with their own two hands. A team of divers, several hundred strong, officially proved it on Saturday, setting a world record for the largest underwater cleanup.

A total of 633 scuba divers amassed near the Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier in Florida to support the effort.
