Comments and Feedback
We combinate a big event the whole day with DSD's in a dive tank, a special guest was the plastic soup foundation with a reading, a demonstration from fire department on the water to save divers, and closed the harbor and dive against debris. It was a big succes
I recommend to dive against debris into recreation harbors, because many owners from boats "lost" things from the boats, you find it under it, it is easy and you need lift bags , some time it is a real mess into that waters, i am happy to had a dive against debris here
