Dive Site Survey, What did I find?

[@AuDive0]

You always have the best underwater hunts Mark . They are my favorite. Super enjoyed it thanks. Gregg 😃👍

[@mokpot]

Thanks so much Gregg

[@Smithsgold]

Plenty of golf balls !!!

[@mokpot]

About time huh?

[@zacharygraham9614]

Please keep us posted on the e-bike and scooter situation. Your work to keep batteries out of the water is commendable and appreciated!!!

[@mokpot]

If I can get a response from the city I will try to make a video about it

[@kathleenmilligan2944]

Fascinating as always. You'll need a small army to clean up all that stuff.

[@mokpot]

Small army and a lot of big dumpsters

[@michaelch5060]

I remember as a kid in the mid 70's I made several American River Cleanup dives, we found the craziest stuff ever,, bikes and tires of course but one of the guys even found a phone booth! Thanks for sharing

[@mokpot]

I am jealous! I want a phone booth

[@mattbyrne1822]

Hopefully, these videos will make people think twice about dumping stuff in our lakes and rivers . Keep up the great work and videos 👍

[@mokpot]

I hope so too

[@DonFassbender]

Nice cleanup and video. Sure is crazy the amount of stuff under that bridge. Hope you are able to clean that area up.

[@Jane_Dow]

The Rental E-Bikes & Scooters seemed like a nice idea, but you know how that goes, its GREATLY taken advantage of. There has been a commuter train between Dallas & Ft.Worth for a good while, then they added stops in between the cities. When the E-Bikes & such came out All of a sudden all us little towns in between started ending up with DFW's rentals. Sides of the roads, creeks, Our Yards. Because these transients would bring them on the train to where ever. The rental companies would never show up to retrieve them, Police said " Not Our Problem ". What a mess. I could go on about the riffraff that comes along with the trains, but I'm sure you get the picture. Glad you made it out of there with out getting caught up on that stuff. I see you found the Crocodile's hat, but not the Dundee ! :~)

[@mokpot]

Well the ebike program is not working so… this means they will increase the amount of money spent on them? Not a laughing matter but, you have to laugh at the obvious ending, or cry

[@Jane_Dow]

@@mokpot Now I see why they used the Laughing & Crying masks for the satire of the show.

[@HWbigdogg]

As usual love the video stay safe with that weather coming in, Mite be a lot of interesting finds after.

[@mokpot]

Thanks 👍

[@lindaguess7255]

I wish there could be a community project to clean all that stuff up

[@mokpot]

There is a community trash collection that involves diving… but it is a ways up river

[@NickatLateNite]

Hi Mark... It's sad most people 'on & above' the water think that 'BELOW' the water is a 'trash can/dump site', thanks for doing the best you can to clean up👍

[@mokpot]

thanks for taking time to comment Nick

[@tinman7130]

Wow, must not be any dumpsters in the vicinity. Can't believe all the junk on the bottom. It was interesting to see the old bridge pilings. The blinky red light has to be some sort of government piece. Spooky. Five times an official dive. that is satisfying

[@mokpot]

Lol I wish I could transfer the official dive Icons to subsequent dives 😊

[@JT-xh4zm]

Sad to see all the stuff that has been tossed at that spot. I hope you can get the e-waste removed. I just don't understand the mindset of people tossing things in the river thinking if it can't be seen - it's ok. It is not ok. Glad you had a fun dive. As always....thanks for taking us along.

[@mokpot]

Yes, it is hard to fathom people who can do such things

[@shirleymatthews2980]

That looked a lot like old fair oaks bridge you were diving under can't be live all the crap people throw into the river thanks for the video another great dive👍👍😎and keep it safe

[@mokpot]

Thank you Shirley!

[@alanatolstad4824]

Oh Mark. This was a difficult one to watch. There were highlights tho'...golf balls, old trees, the amazing sights/sounds of the current! The poor fella's expression when he watched his hat go sailing off, oh my! I always feel sorry for the fish that live in the murk.---I'm hoping someone will chime in with a guess on what that blinking red light thingy was. If you get a reply, please make a special video with that update. And, lastly, I'm pleased you have a plan going forward about removal of those high-risk items down there. (What about that old radio & the glass jar you kept returning to?!)

[@mokpot]

I kind of like that old jar… I wish I had room for it then. The old radio would likely disintegrate if I attempted to move it. I always enjoy seeing your name in the comments Alana

[@geraldingram9351]

Did you find out about the basket with the two things on it with the red light flashing on it? Strange thing. Love your content, the things you find in a river. Gerald. New Zealand.

[@mokpot]

Hello Gerald, I have not yet found out about the basket with the flashing light objects. Some mentioned perhaps seeing to many movies and perhaps it has a nefarious purpose😂

[@debbie4220]

Hi Mark, the sunglasses with the bow are Hello Kitty’s! I know I buy them off eBay lol! Very nice official finds 5X!! Makes up for dives you find nada. Thanks for another great video!

[@mokpot]

Hi Debbie, so you collect Hello Kitty? Do you wear Hello Kitty?

[@dorisbotts6414]

Looks like a flood went through there and dropped stuff all over the place. A shame it's hard to clean up so much trash. But I know you try to do what you can. Glad you posted the video. Stay safe.

[@mokpot]

Thank you Doris

[@lisauptagrafft2010]

The bicycle and lamp and a few other green encrusted items look like they’ve been down there for years and years! Some look like they’ve been down so long it’s hard to tell what they even are any more. But, tell me, why does someone think it’s a great place to pitch a lamp? 🤷🏼‍♀️. Yep, that’s a good rope! ✌🏼❤️

[@mokpot]

I suppose they were out walking one day, of course they brought the lamp with them… then they thought, I don’t want this lamp any more.

[@metaldiver]

those golf balls seem to grow at the bottom of the lake with you too😊

[@mokpot]

Yes, I have found them pretty much every where I have dived

[@themainediverschannel4495]

Another great video! E bikes and scooters being removed by you would make for an interesting video, at least I would think so, just an idea. I made a video of a tire removal from a lake and some have said to me its boring and others said interesting and good to see that our natural water ways are being cleaned up.

[@mokpot]

Some one will almost always find fault in a video. I just make videos doing what I enjoy and, then enjoy the positive responses from awesome people. Honestly, I have never understood complaining comments, I would think they would just not watch it, it is not like you can change it after it is posted?

[@themainediverschannel4495]

@@mokpot I try to not let the trolls/nay sayers get to me. We both love our diving and the underwater vids that we make. At the end of the day that is the only thing that matters-attempting to enjoy our lives in a insane world.

[@davidshaw7454]

I saw the golf ball under the leaf , cool dive Mark , I was wondering your depth during the video then you showed it , thx . The bridge color looks familiar 😊

[@mokpot]

I do listen to requests… Depth, Temp, and fish are often requested. I try to remember

[@drewmcvicker1445]

How sad that people have such little respect for our lakes and streams. Bless you for working so clean them up! However, it does make for a very interesting video. Keep up the good work!!

[@mokpot]

Thanks Drew

[@philipcallicoat3147]

The apparatus with the flashing little red light? Looks rather sinister... I've seen too many movies😂..... Stay safe Your thumbnail should be titled: diving on the landfill😢...

[@mokpot]

Maybe it is wired to blow! 😖

[@burningsandsexploration3711]

Wow! That's a lot of garbage! I hate seeing all that. Amazing what you find.

It really is pretty amazing at times, the great and unusual variety of stuff…🎉

[@davethompson9776]

Is that the water pump below discovery? That water is way too clear for the Sacto.

[@lifeisgoodenjoyeachday438]

Glad no one dropped a bicycle on your head while you were down there. Some people really don't care about our earth. Hard to see. Thanks.

[@mokpot]

Y’know… that thought actually crossed my mind on this dive!🙈

You need a barge for stuff. Hello from Kyiv.

[@mokpot]

Hello from California… Kyiv Ukraine?

[@creatures4178]

@@mokpot yes, hi

[@Ravenslair]

If this is the bridge I am thinking, I am surprised there is not a lot more waste than I saw. Lots of "campers" down along the water there and a few permanently moored boats out there. Ripe for trash everywhere.

[@mokpot]

I know what you mean… I am careful to not let water get past my regulator also.

[@Ravenslair]

I am sure we are going to eventually see elevated levels of E. coli and other fun water borne bugs along most stretches of the Sacramento area rivers. I keep hearing Eddie Murphy in Delirious, “then a big brown shark came Plus you have to watch out for needles due to all the diabetics that camp along the rivers.

[@SherylVincent]

Scooter,batteries and assorted other items that were never intended to be in the water. What a shame 😢

Everyone summed up what I was going to say. Wish the people that did this knew better. Official dive all the same!!!

[@mokpot]

Glad to hear from you!

[@mokpot]

Hi Tammy, it seems I need to start apologizing for producing upsetting videos. So many people have expressed your sentiments. I do appreciate your tuning in. 😊

[@tammyfrazier8720]

It’s not your fault. The people who is dumping the trash needs to apologize. Do are doing your share At trying to clean it up. And I love all your videos keep posting.

[@mokpot]

What I meant is, I like to post positive videos, i forget how awful this can look. I suppose I have just accepted this as the norm, and focus on how much I enjoy the diving. Lol Should I be concerned that I am becoming jaded? look at you Tammy, making me think…
