Comments and Feedback
This is the first time I run the Dive Agaisnt Debris program for my divers as an option for their normal weekend leisure dive and they just love it. The words are spreading and more local divers are now inquiring about it. I believe this is a right move for us to offer it as an ongoing program instead of having 1 big event per season.
