Comments and Feedback
There were a few big items we could not remove, please see pictures for your reference - 1 Tire - 2 big plastic containers We found a coral covered with a broken tarp bag, that we slowly and carefully removed (see picture). I have counted it as a plastic bag, however i am not sure if that is the right identifications, please advise us for future reference.
This location is on the same island near the dive site ADS323 - Tung Ping Chau, however this is a different site, it's about 0.7 km away from the above mentioned registered site.
