Fishing Net Removal from St. George's Island by Latchi Dive Centre

Diving and removal of a large fishing net

 

St George’s Island diving and removal a large fishing net.

Johnny H, Johnny A, and Nicola went out to St George’s Island to remove a large fishing net yesterday. After a tough 4 hours and some deep dives down to 45 Metres, they hauled the net back on to the boat; making quite a mess.

They saved 14 Lobsters, 6 Crabs and numerous Starfish. All were released back to the sea. This information has been passed to PADI to help raise awareness through Project Aware.

So where do I start? Just a simple guy from the East Midlands, who spends his days underwater. Perhaps, being British, the attraction to cold, sometimes baron and harsh environments are what attracts me to the submerged way of life. Many an ocean has played host to my brief diving career, from the hustle and bustle of Thailand to the tranquil Whitsunday Islands in Austrailia.
