Comments and Feedback
due to NDL and lack of helpers Kelly and Brendon were only able to remove 3/4 of the net - total of 4 nets tangled. we plan to go back at the next opportunity to remove the remainder if the other dive school in the area doesn;t get there first. They said that they will pass on info for survey if they do.
