Comments and Feedback
I was under the impression ADS members would receive a package including a few mesh bags, some stickers or other such things.
The work area I have been cutting nets and ropes from the past weeks is not completely covered in sand. The large blue rope pictures was something I encountered just after first entering the water. The net was entangled along the same pipe a few meters away. There was much more netting I could have cut free, but the surge was rather intense. After spending 20 minutes to free the one large piece, I decided to end cutting activities as it was becoming dangerous between the rocks and working with a sharp knife with so much movement. After that, I briefly swam around the area and collected a bit of loose debris from the bottom, and ended the survey. I had borrowed two air tanks but returned the second one unused as the surge was just too much ( I was beginning to feel seasick)
