Comments and Feedback
Lovely dive, 3-4m vis. We did find more debris then we can remove, as physically unable to (a lot of debris ends up wedged under rocks. One bit of debris purposely left as it had a lot of life growing on it. This site is a pleasure to dive, and a snap shot of what can be found underwater that shouldn't be there. Due to the tide a lot of the rubbish seems to end up in the shallows but we fear most of it ends up further into the sea.
