Comments and Feedback
We normally focus on the opposite side of the reef, this side seemed to have debris that has sat for a long time. We could visit this deeper side as we had more experienced divers available, so we don't believe this will interrupt our usual findings from our monthly scheduled Dive Against Debris.
