Additional Information
This site is part of a municipal park that is cleaned regularly by employees. We should have found less debris for the given short period. It is not a dive site but an outdoor activities park (kayak, pedalo, etc.)
Ball coming from a nearby school and a complete basketball hoop with pole. Sledge hammer
Plastics of all kind in small sizes - Cannot be recycled due to size
Dive gear - Hard to prevent the loss of gear in a public place
Beverage container (glass and aluminum) - The need to enforce the no trash zone
