Visibility was a fair bit poorer than over Easter but still good enough for a rummage. Dropped down onto the bow but then got a little too focused on rummaging. So much so that we were well away from the main wreckage for a lot of the dive. In fact I had started to wonder whether the wreck had been severely smashed up In The winter storms.... Oops. But I did find lots of broken bits of glass over the sea bed including the bottom of a champagne bottle.
Found our way back on to the main wreck eventually. Nessa got freaked out by a small group of bib that she thought were zombie pirates and did some of her classic underwater squealing. A conger or two were buried under the plates.
Had a good 28 min bottom time before heading up for deco. Feeling a little bit chilly on the stop so put on my new body warmer for the second dive.
