Comments and Feedback
Scuba Leeds also completed a Beach Clean up before the dive, and separately removed 5kg of rubbish from the beach in about 30 mins before our dive. The debris we removed from the beach was mostly plastic fragments, fishing wire, baby wipes, plastic food wrappers and full dog waste bags - as well as the occasional nappy! If these items weren't removed from the beach they would have ended up in the water at high tide, the beach debris was very similar to the debris we found in the water. The vis in the water had greatly improved from our Debris dive in May, a lovely sea dive. We will be returning to this spot later in the year for more Debris dives
