No. This site is always consistently collecting plastic debris on it's ground.

Fishing line, always entangle to hard corals.

Plastic bags, covering hard corals until they are bleaching.

Snack packaging & mineral water bottle. They are everywhere underwater.


Most of the plastic debris at this dive site are burried underground. We just spotted a little tip of plastic, but when you pulled it, there were more plastic under the sand.
