Comments and Feedback
We would have happily counted individual items but didn't think to record that much detail.
Was great day with multiple diver teams in the water, shore support and boat support. We filled bags underwater and sent them to the surface with lift bags for the boat team to collect and bring to shore while we continued collecting trash from the bottom. It was a great day and loads of fun. It was the first time for several diving in 0 viz but was great training and a huge help to the cove.
