Helen Wilson Dives

I've dived the "Helen Wilson" once:

Dive number	Date	Site	Location	Area	Country	Wreck	Freshwater	Depth (m)	Bottom time (min)	Total time (min)	Divers	Quality	Summary	Equipment
149	6 Aug 1983	Helen Wilson	Kerrera (Ardentrive Bay, opposite Oban Harbour)	Oban	Scotland			35	14	16	Iain Hosking, Eric Franz		Spent early part of the afternoon echo-sounding for the Sunderland. Nothing, so dived this trawler, which is in Ardentrive Bay, opposite Oban harbour, and is buoyed. Up to gunwhales in silt - superstructure still more or less intact. Left a gasmask on the wheel as our calling card. Recovered knife and tank boot. Decompressed on a barge nearby in only 4m of water, and left another calling card in its boiler. Fruitless search for seaplane afterwards.	own
