Comments and Feedback
There are a lot more bottles and debris at the dive site i.e. tyres etc but they are very heavy and we were not equipped with lift bags. We cleared 45kg of debris but its only a bit in comparison to what else is there. Some of the debris are very old and already have marine life growing out of it hence we left it there
