Comments and Feedback
We were on the last dive of our trip and we decided that we would dive and report what we found if we got any debris. We were suprised to find nothing that did not belong on the bottom. This was outside the protected waters and does get fished. We did not find any fishing line or trash.
The life on this reef was just outstanding. We were diving from Islamorada, FL for 4 days. This dive on the reef "The Maze". This was the best dive of our trip. The life was great with Lobsters, Eels, Rays, Fish and Nurse shark.
