Return to the Reef Balls to Clean Up the Turtle Sanctuary
I did a night dive with two friends on the Reef Balls Dive Site on 19 February. This is a site that we had cleaned up last year on 24 July and is the home to about 8 turtles. When we dived the site we were saddened to see a lot of underwater trash in the areas where the turtles like to sleep, particularly in the north-eastern corner of the sandy berms. So the three of us decided to undertake a Dive Against Debris on Friday 26 February in order to clean up that area of the dive site and reduce the risk to our friends the turtles. We collected 15 kg of trash in three mesh bags and then completed a Project AWARE survey of what we collected.
