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.

My team have uploaded a video of this activity on YouTube https://youtu.be/jQYYoceX5GM
The conditions were similar to last month's survey. We covered a smaller area, so we weren't able to collect as much as we could have. But since it is still tourist peak season for Boracay, I expect that there will be more debris in the coming weeks.
Two youngsters, Eleonora and Elisabetta, took their Junior Open Water Diver and Junior Advanced Open Water Diver courses with me this February. I took the opportunity to make this month's Dive Against Debris survey part of their AOW course. They had a lot of fun and at the same time, it was a great experience for them to give back to the marine environment.
