Nets are a bit tough to bring up because someone of them are pretty big and can entangle divers, but we still try our best. Unfortunately for most people the ocean is out of sight, out of mind.Offthebeatentrackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06520815757721553880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-90681614464889397862010-03-22T14:15:47.653-10:002010-03-22T14:15:47.653-10:00Unbelievable!
