Boat replacement parts - like rubber transmission belts


Please enter a category for electric cables and "other boat spare parts" - so we can better trace such - as these items are important to specifically report - the local community can perhaps train their boat crew not to throw engine parts like transmission belts into the sea.

#96 electric cables. Great Dive Against Debris as well as 2017 Women's Dive Day with 9 participants on a "trashure hunt" for debris on our adopted dive site. The Dive Against Debris is organized as integral part of the eIDC - PADI Instructor Development Course. Thank you very much to all participants !!
