Close by to the dive site (approx. 250m) there a small river which pass through bus terminals and villages. I suspect people throw their trashes to this small river

mineral water plastic cups

diapers

plastic sachets


This location needs more dives against debris .. It's a popular shore dive site in Manado City which offers pretty good dive condition with a lot of Artificial reefs
