According to president of the Russian diving federation Anna Arzhanova, divers will clean 400 square meters of the near-the-shore underwater area at one of the beaches. Many volunteers participate in this event conducted every year, she said.
"Divers participate in this event with pleasure. It is like a game for them. Sometimes they find real surprises there. For instance, they found a self-made, but real revolver last year in Nizhny Novgorod (the Volga region)," Arzhanova said.
Divers normally work in pairs. Each dive lasts about 40 minutes.
Divers have already found several sharp tree branches with nails, and car wheel, many plastic and glass bottles and tin cans.
