Additional Information
We found this big nylon fishing net the day before and decided to come back for it with knives, scissors, lift bag etc. It seemed like this net used to be used in shallower water where they drag these nets along the sea floor. this net must have got lost and ended up in deeper water. It had small hydroids growing on it already but had not been in the place where we found it for long. It was not too much entangled in the corals yet so we still remove the net from the coral without any problems.
Comments and Feedback
We were very happy that everybody joined in and helped to get the net out. Good job!
