Large Wooden Platform 1

My guess is that no particular event caused this. However, the fact that a campground is situated on the adjacent shore probably accounts for the types and amount of debris at the site.

A large wooden platform covered in carpet and tar paper. The carpet was removed and weighed 94 pounds.

Broken glass


While this is close to three other Dive Against Debris dive sites, this site is distinct from them.
