Illegal fishing, since this is a no fishing zone by law. The dive shop manager took a picture of the fishing line I retrieved and he send the picture to stinapa, the national marine park authority.


This dive I made from the same entrance as the DAD dive I logged for March 14. During this dive I moved north along the bottom of the reef.
