Yes, this is a site where it gets deeper relatively close to shore, so it is a place where fishermen like to fish.

Wallet with credit card, ATM cards, driving license, sedula. The wallet wasn't inlcuded in the weight of the cleanup. It proved the wallet was stolen from the car from the owner, all money was gone so the wallet was discarded by throwing it in the ocean.

Fishing line, because the line wraps around the coral heads when realing in the fish.
