Trash diving in the Aare River in Interlaken

Today my girlfriend and I went trash diving in the Aare River in Interlaken again.

Thank you all for the great response to our last post! This time, I tried to arrange everything on a more even background so my girlfriend can also post it over on r/knolling.

The water was around 22°C (72°F) again and nice and clear. We had pretty good visibility and found quite a lot of stuff.

Freediving for trash in the Aare River in Interlaken, Switzerland

My girlfriend and I go freediving for trash in the Aare River in Interlaken, Switzerland. Equipped with goggles, gloves, fins and a net, we search the riverbed for trash, collect it, arrange our finds afterwards (inspired by some of the posts I've seen here), and hand everything over to the local municipality for proper disposal.

This week we had a day with exceptionally clear water, so we spent quite a long time in the river and found a lot of stuff.

I blurred a few items that could contain identifying information or might have been stolen. We'll hand those over to the police. And before anyone worries: the gun is only a toy gun.

It's crazy how many things we keep finding that absolutely don't belong in a river.

We only started doing this fairly recently, but it has quickly become one of our favorite ways to spend a day in the water.
