So many people have asked me about the floating island of trash that I just had to pass this on. The reason why the dive team goes down into the muck is (I hope I have this right!) to clear the intake valves. If they are clogged, the ship's generators (six of them!) shut down. No generators, no electricity, no air conditioning - no good! But there is definitely good - the diving team has just been supplied with a crate load of new dive gear: new masks, flippers, and flashlights, not to mention full face masks with built in radios! This will make diving in these awful waters so much safer. Check out how lovely they look:
