Started with Mark but had some issues with his ADV so then ended up leaving him back at the shot. So tagged on with Nessa and Ken. If I had been wondering about whether I still enjoyed diving (after doubting it the day before) this dive gave me a lot more faith again.
Tonnes of life on the wreck - congers, cuckoo wrasse, lobster, bib, pollack and even a large ling. the sheer scale of the boilers and steering quadrant also make this incredibly enjoyable dive.
The visibility was much better this side with very little current or surge so buoyancy felt much better and really got some great effect out of full brightness on my torch- suddenly feeling a decent purchase!!
From the boilers back to the rudder and then followed the prop shaft back towards mid ships. Absolutely tonnes of pink sea fans about on all the fallen plates- brilliant to see.
Overall a cracking dive and restored a little more faith.
