Comments and Feedback
it was a 100 meters net covering the reef ! At this evend we were 8 divers and 1 on the boat ! In 30 minutes we made the reef safe again ! There were and many old fishing net but already been one with thw marine environtment so we left them be ! a lot of fishing lines were all around and we planning a new event to clear them also!
