Undived wreck in 127m of water. We had hoped it was going to turn out to be a japanese submarine that was lost in the area. Me, Craig and Mark went down shot and got down to seabed (127m) to find nothing but sand and freezing cold (18deg C, drop from 32 deg C at surface) After a fruitless search running a line and scootering around the seabed looking for the wreck we ascended to 117m where Mark spotted the shadow of the wreck. Me and Craig scootered over and took a look. Modern steel ship, been down less than 10 years. Large spare prop on deck. Craig scooter jammed and he had to swim it back to the anchor chain. No surprise really seeing as he had borrowed it from Monsieur D'enlay who, as everyone knows, doesnt look after his dive gear very well :-). Bottom divers were very well supported by Mike, John, Karl et al. Still with over 1 hour of deco left to do Monsieur D'enlay et al dumped several loads of used sorb on my head during deco :-) Nice!...but I did deserve it, cos Id been dumping mine on them all week :-)
Gearing up for the dive (with my nice new cool orange cave line)
