Comments and Feedback
This was actually a fun dive, which we decided to also conduct a Dive Against Debris activity. This is one of the most pristine dive site in Pulau Tenggol, with healthy coral and a good amount of fish. Initially, we didn't expect much debris to be found. But it turned out to be quite a big surprise with the total of plastic debris that we found.
