Additional Information
We can't identify 36 pieces of something that shouldnt be in the sea it definitely came off the jetty but no idea where (we figured it out - they are tar plugs from the jetty - when it was being taken apart to be rebuilt they popped out all the plugs and let them drop straight into the ocean... we found hundreds more after this dive)
Debris from jetty rebuild treated wood bolts off cuts etc
Fishing line
Bottles (beverage)
