Additional Information
Illegal fishing in the marine park. Fishing line is what we usually find at this dive site. Thankfully, it was mostly free of debris. This was an old piece, fairly well entangled in coral and sponge and the best job possible was done to not cause any damage and some fishing line which was sticking out was simply cut away, trying not to touch sponge or coral.
