I submitted this report weeks ago using the PADI AWARE app for the first time. However it never seems to have gone through.

The area was extraordinarily free of lose debris, so i ended up just focusing on long-existing masses of partially buried ropes/nets. Video of the full dive here: https://youtu.be/qZPAbZmnKLM
