A brilliant day and Scuba Leeds first Dive Against Debris in Malta, with 11 new Dive Against Debris Speciality divers. Very clear water, but lots of debris removed from the sea. Our divers found lots of broken glass bottles (all green glass), a shower head, fragments of a wooden board, lots of wire, and lots of plastic fragments. A really good dive and lots removed from the sea. A big thank you to all members of our group who assisted on this Debris Dive.
