Additional Information
I usually don't mention this, but of course as usual there are several large masses of nets partially or mostly buried in sand. I don't dare try to bother with them when I am diving alone for fear of entanglement.
burlap sacks
cloth gloves
Comments and Feedback
I have put in a lot of work for ADS since its inception. Can I get a care package with updated flags/posters that reflect PADI AWARE instead of Project AWARE~ Hook me up you beautiful people~~~
Some construction happening on the beach right in front of the site. Seems to be an extension of a wind break, but hoping it does not affect my access to the area. Video of full dive here: https://youtu.be/w0L_nHxFb3c
