Due to the bad weather we had a heavy amount rain and rinsing tides. Which in turn brought the garbage from the resorts and dive shops into the beach/diving area.

Pretty standard. Normal dive shop/resorts amenities.

bottle caps

plastic bags


The majority of the rubbish found in the picture was found near and around the Sai Ree area not the dive location. The picture was taken when we all got together.
