A couple of months ago, our dive club had a guest speaker who covered the issue of "Marine Rubbish" and its impact on the aquatic world.
Although I have always been one for picking up stuff from the bottom, this talk persuaded me to stick a small mesh bag in my pocket and I usually surface after a dive with it full of assorted detritus. Over the months I have found all sorts of stuff underwater. Bullets & Shotgun shells, 3 x Dive knives, a couple of snorkels, dive slates, masks, sunglasses, cell phones, enough fishing tackle to open my own tackle shop, a foot long Butchers knife, to name just some.
This morning I went on a lovely little dive along a breakwater near our local harbour. Along with finding a Seadragon, - a first for me! - and being checked out by a couple of dolphins, I found an unopened can of Tuna! My first thought was to find one of the local fishermen and stick it on his hook for a laugh! but it did get me thinking, What is the strangest thing you lot have found ?
