Fishing: Nets & Pieces Of Nets 1

we suspect that divers had put the big fishing net to the dive site. It was still new. Just a little broken. No fish attached. Very big fishing net and nicely spread to the structures. Lots of fish around the Rig area.


Lots of old fishing nets found from the same structures. Cannot remove anymore.
