After visiting the island for the first time after the typhoon we already had an idea of where to find the most debris under water. We did not survey a big area, we try to focus on cleaning as much trash out as we could. Besides the 7 divers we also had 11 non-divers on the shore who simultaneously measured, sorted and logged all the items that were collected by the divers.

If you know your survey site coordinates, enter them manually in decimal degrees using WGS84 Map Datum. Use the minus sign for latitudes south of the equator and longitudes west of the Prime Meridian to 180 degrees.
If you do not know your survey site coordinates, click the “Map Location” tab to use the map to zoom into your survey site and drop the pin on the map to fall within your survey dive site in the water (not on land or the beach). Ensure you zoom in as much as possible to ensure data accuracy.

A quick debris dive completed after our day training - it was brilliant to see one of our younger divers getting involved and excited in completely a debris dive. A big thank you to Keegan for his help on the dive (and his little brother for also collecting some debris and putting in the bin when helping with shore cover - every bit helps). Stoney cove is a training dive quarry, and suffers from the debris left behind by divers (although unintentional, dives often leave behind more than just bubbles). We found broken plastic from diving masks, rubber straps, tape from cylinders, stickers from dive gear, springs from inside diving equipment, and cable ties). We also found a lot of paper fragments on this dive, possibly for training notes. Cigarette butts were found in the water, once again highlighting that these throw away parts of a cigarette do end up in our waters and cause a possible chocking harness to marine life. This is a great dive site and very popular, but a worry that if we are leaving behind debris from training debris, what are we leaving behind on pleasure dives around the world?
General diving training, a lot of the debris found appears to be related to scuba training (broken dive gear or plastic snapped off of equipment)
