Additional Information
The dive site we chose to clean it is very close to Soufriere town. First there is debris coming from town and second there are a good number of sail boats anchoring in the area and the wind catched towels, plastic cups, etc from the yachts.
Nothing was out of the ordinary, but i guess most unusual will be a cushion bench.
fishing line
ropes
