Comments and Feedback
A dive to help out a friend who helps run a fishing lake and wanted help removing any debris from the lake. We were surprised by was the lack of debris at this site - we found no plastic fragments or the normal debris we expect to find during a dive. On discussions with club owners of the Fishing Lake, we found they have a lot of volunteers who pick litter up regularly around the lake. The club cared about the area and made a real effort to keep the waters cleaned and this showed under the water.
