Dropped down 40+mtrs into the deep, visibility on the bottom was nothing like the journey down. The ghostly wreck appeared from the dark depths, the narcosis was well and truly in effect. Staying within the NDT was difficult as it left little time to explore what is a massive and quite deteriorated wreck. Massive boiler tanks, engine and that was about as far as we got - before it was time to return to the anchor line for our ascent. EOS was honking on inhale at 40+mtrs - this needs fixing ASAP. A great day out with Jamie and the crew, Will my buddy was well organised and proficient with his side mount dive gear. I look forward to joining him... For this dive I went single cylinder and a 7ltr stage bottle as a redundant emergency air supply. Dive went well - just need 30mins down there :o)
