Comments and Feedback
HUGE thanks to all Dive Bus divers and friends who helped make a difference. You ROCK! Photos here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151112334871221.497100.19324446220&type=1
The lines are wrapped around corals and sponges, so it will be a long, long job to clear up the old line. At least we have made a start! If we're able to remove the bulk of the old line, we can manage the new line on a more regular basis. Anyone willing to help out, please get in touch with us for more info: [email protected]
