Ban's Diving Resort participated in the annual Earth Day
"Dive Against Debris" program today by offering free dives this afternoon to all participants willing to pick up debris and help clean up the ocean floor. We visited two different sites, Lighthouse and Green Rock. There were a total of 54 volunteers on board today, and at the end of the day, we had collected over 5 large trash bags full of trash & debris, and a large crate filled with fishing line, ropes, cables and metal strips.. Thanks to all who took time out of their day to come and help out Ban's to clean up our planet!!! (a practice we all should do daily).

This rocky outcrop sits between a long recreational beach open to the public to the south, and a private/restricted smaller beach used by the Korean military for training purposes to the north. Usually I don't venture to the northern end of the rocky outcrop, but on this dive I did. There was SOO much more debris in that area ( as it doesn't get washed up to a recreational beach that gets regular maintenance) That area also is suffering from the dumping of some fibrous plant/wood mess, but also more debris than I could have possibly collected alone.
Most of the debris was contained with a large swath of wood pulp/debris that seems to have been dumped weeks ago offshore. The lighter pieces of fiber/wood wereon the surface and eventually washed ashore. The "stems" and larger pieces sank to the bottom just off a sandbar approx. 1 meter deep and seems to have served as a trap or haven for all kinds of debris. See the video here~ https://www.facebook.com/robert.williams.503092/videos/1415864718431250/
Mostly clear. Ocean conditions remained fairly smooth.
