Back on this battleship again- holding so much less fear than on the last trip. We came down the forward shotline and soon found the little swim through showing the two corridors. There was then a little swim through back through the bow section which brought us back onto the starboard side.
Then moved our way aft along the gun run again. Think gun 7 must be well and truly buried as we couldn’t find it.
Awesome to have seen all three prop shafts. The first being blasted away near the stern, second was poking into the blasted engine room and the third was a little bit sheltered away in the port engine room. Still plenty of condenser pipes around from where the turbines have been salvaged. Spent quite a bit of time in the engine room salvage pit today including poking heads through the bulkhead to the rear most boiler room (of three).
Lots of little ling hanging around over the wreck today and a few cod. Up onto the top of the hull and into the gardens of brittle stars and along to the test blast holes- lots of detritus but not too much recognisable stuff.
Was feeling pretty cold by the end of our 50 mins bottom time so was looking forward to getting back on board Huskyan for a cup of tea.
