Comments and Feedback
This was our first Dive Against Debris and it went better than expected. We had a group of 10 divers (every level from open water to master instructor) and several people doing fun dives at the site collected debris as well and deposited it with our shore crew. We collected a fairly good amount of debris, rubbish, and fishing line and weights. We identified a lot of the debris comes from the dive site up current and we're thinking to adopt that site too. Looking forward to the next Dive Against Debris!
