Comments and Feedback
First clean up dive of our adopted Reef, was excited and also saddened because it is such a big job. Picked up a pepsi can with a small moray in it and thought maybe we should leave cans. Making the decision about what to leave and what to take can be distressing and brings on feelings of guilt.
