Comments and Feedback
Extremely diffficult to tow this mass of ropes and nets back to shore. I didnt expect to find much trash so I took only 1 lift bag. It was not enough to float it to the surface. It was enough to make it slightly less than neutrally buoyant. I spent a good 25 minutes giving it jerks and slowly moving meter by meter! Full video of thhe dive here: https://youtu.be/kwUrHrT9zQo
