I've dived with Phil Gibbs 2 times:

Spoke to coastguards who gave us a forecast of SW 3-4 veering SE. In fact the wind was no more than 2-3. Dived NE side again with rock dropping steeply to 34m. Boulder slope continued past 40m. We came up via a stepped cliff. Dark. Butterfish and dead mens' fingers. Explored the cave afterwards - very smelly. | own (Luxfer 72 - same weight used) | |||

Down line to stern and forward to the passageway on the second level of the hold. Swam along this for a while, but very murky so turned round and came back. Into engine room, forward to bridge, then out and swam along beside the rail to the bows. The anchor chain lies out along the seabed. Back to the stern - saw rudder (no prop). Seabed falls away on this side. Outboard engine knackered on the way back [due to motorcycle 2-stroke oil] so our boat was towed. Mark and I got bored and jumped off, swam to Calve Island, waded to the mainland and walked back, swimming a lake on the way. |
