Special Note about ablative bottom paint: 2010 General Discharge Permit prohibits cleaning ablative paints in the water.
Maryland and federal laws do not allow the release of pollutants from any source into surface water. Professional divers need to use best management practices to prevent releasing paint and metals.
Divers who do not abide by the Clean Diver Pledge by cleaning ablative painted surfaces increase the risk of metal discharge in waters surrounding the boats they clean.
