Diver films sea of rubbish at Bali hotspotFootage taken by a British diver swimming through swathes of rubbish off the coast of the Indonesian island of Bali has put ocean pollution back in the spotlight. RICH HORNER/FACEBOOK The video shows a thick layer of rubbish floating on the water's surface. "Plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic cups, plastic sheets, plastic buckets, plastic sachets, plastic straws, plastic baskets, plastic bags, more plastic bags, plastic, plastic, so much plastic," he said. Bali has such a big problem with rubbish during the rainy season that it is also dubbed "trash season". A report last year suggested 2050 could be the grim tipping point when there is more plastic in the ocean than fish.
