Additional Information
There is a lot of Fishing from the shore happening here, we know of many fishing lines and fishing weights at this site and we are trying to clear it up. A lot of the fishermen on site keep asking us to bring up their weights which means they are loosing a lot of them. During our dive we saw an octoups carrying one of these weights in one of its tenticles.
Beach towel, must have been dropped or lost as it was close to where people normally sunbathe. Depth here is 8m therefore could be that they could not get it.
Fishing line - close to turtle sites
