Volunteer diver, Ron Hoffman, surfaces in the midst of the muck and debris found at the Crow Creek Park quarry.
(Bettendorf, IA) — Volunteer divers from around Bettendorf came to the Crow Creek Park Quarry last Saturday morning (July 26) to help clean the water-filled pit of garbage and overgrown vegetation. A second group of land-based helpers picked up litter on the shoreline and from nearby trails.
The event was organized by Scott Jones, who operates Scuba Adventures QCA (www.scubaadventuresqca.com) with help from one of his instructors, Darin Oberhart, who served as the dive master.

Following the cleanup, Mr. Jones fired up his grill and cooked hamburgers and hot dogs for all of the adults and kids who pitched in. Prizes were awarded to those teams who managed to pull in the most garbage.
