Dives

I've dived with Alex Gray 2 times:

Dive number	Date	Site	Location	Area	Country	Wreck	Freshwater	Depth (m)	Bottom time (min)	Total time (min)	Divers	Quality	Summary	Equipment
423	21 Jul 1990	Stac Lee	SE face	St Kilda	Scotland			41	24	24	Iain Hosking, Alex Gray		Overcast again, and rougher. Seas were running into a cave in Stac Lee and compressing the air inside, which spat out a plume of spray. It looked dangerous. We dived over a slope to 40m, in a heavy swell. Saw one seal - shy, as usual when the viz is poorer. For the rest of the dive it was anemones, velvet crabs and dead men's fingers, and swell.
424	21 Jul 1990	Stassa	Rodel Bay, Harris	Outer Hebrides	Scotland			27	33	33	Iain Hosking, Alex Gray		Conditions - sunny and calm. Low sun angle, green water, poor vis - lots of silt, especially with 12 divers down at once. The wreck lies on its starboard side, and is buoyed at the bridge. We swam forwards to the bows, then back to the bridge, engine room (in through 'greenhouse' hatch and out through the bottom of the hull) then to the stern. Spare prop (iron) is on the seabed below the stern accommodation. The main prop must have been bronze, because it's gone. Spent the night in Lochmaddy.
