EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) – One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and for Ed the Diver there are many treasures beneath the surface.
Ed Bieber of Marinette, better known as Ed the Diver, and his buddy Silent J, stopped at Lake Altoona this week. They’re on a 10 week tour scuba diving to clean up beaches and various bodies of water in the Midwest.
Bieber said he does this to inspire others to get outdoors, be kind to nature, and educate folks about garbage that can be found underwater like glass, fish hooks, rusty metal, and fishing lines.
He also returns lost property to rightful owners, such as Apple watches, sunglasses, and jewelry. Or he repurposes items and sells them online.
“Another very memorable one would be a Barbie doll I just found in the Qolf River a couple months ago. I ended up selling it on Ebay for $1,225. It looked really nasty, all the river gunk on it. The girl that bought it ended up becoming my girlfriend,” Bieber said.
Lake Altoona wasn’t their only Chippewa Valley stop. Ed also dived in the Eau Claire River and Duncan Creek. Donations help pay for their tours.
Ed the Diver and Silent J’s next step? The Upper Peninsula.
