Comments and Feedback
I have noticed that this year there is substantially more marine plant life than I have ever seen here over the previous 5 years. This is resulting in more fishing line/string/ropes being tangled around the plant life. Also, the area seems to have many more fish that is typical for this time of year. Overall, this year it is a much more pleasant area to dive. Video of the entire dive is here: https://youtu.be/68r7On_Jxxc
