Current, surf and surge had been building up over the past week. Participants found more debris in the deeper depths of the reef, possibly caused by some down-welling current experienced in the week too.
Comments: "I never thought picking up trash in the ocean could be so much fun!" (stated by a member of our volunteers)

Feedback: Our Dive Against Debris tool kit arrived one day before the event... Couldn't have been better timing! The extra mesh bags and a printed version of the Marine Debris guide and slate made things so much easier!
We also learned a few things that we will give greater emphasis on in future pre-dive briefings to be more effective in our efforts to be the best AWARE divers we can be!
Handle of a skipping rope.
Above the water: Frequent strong winds.
Underwater: Current, surf and surge (moderate).

Great Dive Against Debris as well as 2017 Women's Dive Day with 9 participants on a "trashure hunt" for debris on our adopted dive site. The Dive Against Debris is organized as integral part of the eIDC - PADI Instructor Development Course. Thank you very much to all participants !!

Please enter a category for electric cables and "other boat spare parts" - so we can better trace such - as these items are important to specifically report - the local community can perhaps train their boat crew not to throw engine parts like transmission belts into the sea.

The visibility was not good for a long diving, we tried 2 times on the same day, but no worth to continue. On the shor time we dived, there were no debris on the sea, not even on the beach. It was a good day!

There is an old house about 20m above the sea level that's falling apart, so probably the ciments are due to that house.

We had an event created together with the RESEX Marinha de Itaipu but the weather was awful on the day, so we had to cancelled the dive part. On the other hand we made a great action on cleaning the beach with more than 50 people helping out.
