Comments and Feedback
We will try and do this every few weeks. Although we do clean up dive almost every weekend but many times we just don’t record it. Hopefully we can start recording it now.
We have adopted the house reef of the resort Casa Escondida Anilao Resort and Dive Center and we will try and do our best to keep it clean
