I hope that all people can dive or at least snorkel just to see how the traches they throw can damage and hurt the underwater amazing world, will have to double my effort in eduacating more and more people just to let the people who dont realize how to help in conserving the underwater world by simply respecting the ocean same as they do in thier living rooms.
