Comments and Feedback
Holyrood Marina is an adopted site. Today open water diver course candidates Andrew S and Damien F were introduced to Project AWARE and participated in a Dive Against Debris during the tour portion of OW dive three. The reason our survey was so short was because we filled out collection bag rather quickly.
