The fact that Kyra Panagia island is an unihabited island and in addition there are permanent (for many decades now) restrictions for any kind of diving activities as it it declared an archaelogical site, is the main reason for the accumulation of debris and thrash that has been found and collected.
The Clean Up dive was organised by Thalassa Foundation, in collaboration with other local entities (public & private) with the contribution of the local dive centers. A special permission was taken from the Ephorate of Underwater Activities to perform the dives Against Debris which was undertaken with great success.
Sunny weather with no wind.

Example: Fishing gear was found, likely due to local fishing.

Example: SCUBA Weights were found, likely due to recent SCUBA Activities.
Example: Crabs were found crawling on the gear, we carefully removed them and returned them to the ocean!
SCUBA Weights!
We took great care to remove the hook from the Queen Parrotfish, however, we could tell it was hurt a little bit. We are happy it was released nonetheless.
Calm, it is Bonaire!
