What an awesome dive. A real bonus at the end of the weekend. Visibility was much better than yesterday and we had lots of fun poking around in all the holes as well as being able to make out discernible structure on the wreck.
Dropped on the bow as before but made our way sternwards spotting the winches, boiler and derricks.
I spent a little while trying to free a lovely looking green bottle from under a section of plating.... in the process disturbing a large-ish lobster from underneath me who looked particularly disgruntled by the situation. Alas the bottle did not pop out of the silt but shortly afterwards Nessa spotted a Worcestershire Sauce bottle lying on the seabed.... what a find!
Overall with the viz being lovely and such a nice array of congers, bib, lobster and crab to watch we ended up maxing out our bottom time (34 mins) and having over 15 mins of deco- ooops. Lovely dive.
