Boat fragments - these are the same parts of a boat we found on a Dive Against Debris 6 months ago, so it shows we didn't collect all the parts last dive (the vis was 2cms on our last dive so it isn't surprising we missed some parts). We found two of these parts that had become wedged under rocks and would have caused more harm them good to remove.

Comments and Feedback
This is a return visit to this dive spot. We first did a Debris dive here 6 months ago and the vis was 2cm. We only found very large boat fragments on this dive so it was interesting to go back and see that with good vis there was a lot more to be found. A really good dive site, easy access, parking close by and sheltered from the winds. We saw lots of sea life - Dogfish, Jelly fish, Pipefish, Wrasse and Crabs. We also found 12kgs of debris which included a large ceramic pipe, plastic wrappers, a golf ball, rope, a scuba cylinder plastic boot and the fibreglass casing from a boat (we debated leaving these in the water, but it is clear the paint work is not peeling from fibreglass so better to remove from the water). Excellent dive and a good haul from the sea. Interestingly the rocky cove had very little debris on it, which may be due to the large amount of bins in the area.
