It is a steep slope/wall. A lot of rubbish was left behind and a lot beyond recreational dive limits.
Only beach in the area, no bins available.
We do regular reef cleans and it is a big issue in the area and the Philippines in general, given that it is the 3rd largest plastic polluter in the world.

Unfortunately another Turtle lost it's life in the Gold Coast Seaway a few days prior to our scheduled Monthly Maintenance Dive, due to entanglement in fishing line. This is the second Turtle in three years to lose it's life at the same point in the Gold Coast Seaway, as area we now refer to as the "Death Zone" or "Spiderweb City" due to the build up of many years of snags and lost line.

This is not a dive that can be done with ease on a single tank. We enlisted the help of a fair few EPIC Dive Buddy and Cos Mick (the poor Guy had the displeasure of discovering the Turtle earlier in the week with the Devocean Dive Crew) brought his Boat!

We loaded our gear onto the Micks Boat (after getting yelled at by the parking ladies) and off he went to launch. The rest of us took our Mask, Snorkels and Fins and began the long walk, wetsuit clad (in the Queensland Sun) to rock hop and swim out to retrieve our gear off the boat.

Vis was nothing to write home about but we could definitely work with it. The Spiderwebs were exactly as we remembered them, offensive and everywhere. We also removed 25m of Steel Cable which when used as a transect line was amazing, however a couple of years in, it is nothing but an entanglement hazard of the worst kind. One of our Divers had to remove a Ganghook and line debris from beneath a Wobbeygong Shark, due to the curtain of line and hooks hanging off the cable. We will be going back for more over our next dives.

Many thanks to the team from The Queensland Scuba Diving Company for getting our divers there and also to the lads the showed up with their scooters, they really did make it a whole lot easier.

We even had a Dolphin dive bomb us on our checkout dive, the Gold Coast Seaway truly just is such an amazing Dive Site!
