这一次我本人组织海洋清洁活动非常顺利，谢谢JUDY WANG 教练#391264和 Bryan Lim 教练#372017一同参与此活动，也谢谢Singamata经理Vicky的陆地协助，谢谢。
希望PADI可以组织一次在马来西亚仙本那海岛做一次海洋保护活动，因为这里几乎都是PADI潜水中心和PADI潜水教练比较多的地方，若PADI组织一场海洋保护活动的话，估计会有很多潜水中心和潜水教练都会参与。
very good

No. general use of local yacht club and jetty activity.
Note: As this was our first "dry-wet" run for Dive Against Debris - the weight and items list is estimated.
Our next dive will have an accurate record of the marine debris collected.

Background to our dive group:
I started our freediving group on Whatsapp approx. 2 years ago, so that new and experienced freedivers were able to find buddies to dive with.
Over time the group has grown to about 30 members, and we freedive most weekends, and sometimes during the week - conditions dependent.
The group also share marine conservation information, attend talks and films, and generally attempt to spread awareness about the oean and the incredible local marine protected areas and unique kelp forests along the Cape Peninsula.

Inspiration for the "Dive Against Debris" - Trailfreedivers "Trash Hunt":
Some of the group went to a local ocean film festival (arranged by Wavescape), where we saw inspiring films like Plastic Ocean and Blue. I had been planning an end-of-year "treasure hunt" dive for the group - but the films really struck a cord with all of us and I decided we should rather do a "TRASH HUNT".

The attendance was more than I expected, and each of the divers (and our shore based friends') dedication to the initiative was truly inspiring.
Yes we were saddened by the marine debris we saw, and removed, but we were also inspired to want to do more.. and I will be arranging another dive in January 2018.

I chose a location (a municipal jetty near a yacht club, alongside the navy harbour) because I expected a great deal of trash there, and we did find a lot.. but we were also pleasantly suprised at how beautiful it was under and around the jetty. We encountered a lot of marine life- from shy sharks (endemic cat sharks), crabs, different fish species, octopus, fan worms and nudibranchs etc.
We feel that the conservation message has been well received both via sharing images on social media and even with onlookers on the day; where we, and our friends and family on the shore, explained to the public what we were doing.

Through this event, and sharing the images and stories, we know that we have raised awareness around the dire issues caused by marine pollution. All in attendance are looking forward to the next Dive Against Debris, and I do think we will have more divers next time!
The very young shark had clearly tried to ingest some of the fibreglass and it was lodged in its mouth. The material was removed and the shark set free, however it was very weak, so we do not know if it survived.
A metal tool about 1.5m long.
Debris was collected in protected harbour area.
In the open water there was a strong south easterly wind and medium size swell.
Water temp 17C.
