Paradise lost: Shocking video shows the miles-wide sea of plastic and trash covering a section of the Caribbean

• Footage of waters near Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras, shows a massive heap of plastic waste 
• A diver is seen leaping from a boat into the filthy waters and wading through the thick layer of rubbish 
• British videographer Caroline Power said the unbelievable images show our planet is ‘choking’ on waste
• The rubbish was washed into the sea from Guatemala, carried on rivers swollen by the recent rainy season
