Comments and Feedback
On this dive I went farther north than the first dive and found a wide area of settled seagrass and many many hundreds of pieces of this shredded black plastic. If I were a better diver and had not stirred up the area so much I could have removed much more. Although the gopro camera battery died shortly after this dive began, all of the first dive and a bit of this dive report can be seen here - https://youtu.be/smOutlSkSTw
