Comments and Feedback
There were a few items that were too big for us to retrieve: boat fragment, tire, old buoy, table, big plastic pipe, big metal bar
Today was the most problematic day so far during our surveys. During our first dive we took several trips to the shore to empty our mesh bag. We have collected 66 cans alone!
