It's a popular local fishermans area of the reef, but as we dive it just about every day, and have done so for 9 years now, it's hugely cleaner and we're winning the battle against fishing line and fishing weights. Now it's only clean, recent line to clear up and we use the lead weights to build dive weights ;o)
A walking stick - how did they get home???
fishing line + weights but see comments above
Comments and Feedback
The area calculator thing was a pain in the xxxx - I gave up after 10 minutes!
As per previous comments, it's awesome to see the massive difference to the reef (Pierbaai) over the years. When we first found it, it was filled with trash. Once that was collected over the first few years, it was time to focus on the miles and miles of old fishing line, removing it without damaging the corals and sponges that had grown around it. These days it's mostly just picking up drinks cans and new fishing line. It's pretty awesome :o)
