Comments and Feedback
My company SMG Scuba completed this Dive against Debris on a School Trip with Worth School. This is the second Dive against Debris dive the school has done and it would be nice for the school and students to receive some sort of recognition. We plan on anther trip in October 2017 with the school and will organise another Project aware initiative
