Comments and Feedback
This is the first time that we'd done mango drop off in a long time. We were taken back by the amount of plastic bottles that we came across seeing that on previous clean up dives, we'd not found a great deal. This was a first time in a long time that I only took one clean up bag with me as ...sods law!!
