Organisers and dive instructors James Taylor and Veronika Kruse said they were pleased with the outcome.

"The numbers of divers wanting to participate has increased since the last Dive Against Debris," James said.

"We all realise how important the oceans are to us and we want to do our part in keeping them clean.

"Were incredibly thankful to everybody for coming along."
