Additional Information
A broken swimline resulted in the swimline dividers washing up on the seabed. We are hoping to return them to the owners so they can be reused.
A dog harness and dog collar. Unsure if maybe thrown in the sea for sentimental reasons or fell of a dog while swimming. We also found 29 of the swimline dividers from the sea (they usually float on the surface to show where the swimming areas is, but unfortunately the rope broke and they are now on the bottom of the seabed).
Plastic spoons
Plastic cups and containers
