Up at 5.30am in torrential rain for this one. West coast out so this was plan B. Due to faffing about didn't get in the water till 11. Water was brilliantly clear - best vis yet on the Thesis. Swam down past the engine and boiler to the hold, then the bows. Good 'cage' effect, where the bow plates have gone. Back down to the stern. No conger, no prop. Stern was deeper than 30m | ||

Dived within 6 hours so had a 5 minute penalty. Swam down to the stern first, then back to the engine room area. Through the 'gallery' saw a brass valve apparently lying on the seabed outside the wreck - pretty firmly fixed but worth thinking about. Swam up beside the ship, looking underneath - rewarded by sight of large fish, including a large and beautifully-coloured cuckoo wrasse. |
