Diver's Notes

Lovely lovely dive with Nessa and Dave W on this wreck. Don't think I've dived it before but it has such an abundance of life (like most of the diving in Lyme Bay) that you could barely see the wonderful wreck underneath.

Lots of bib, massive pollack, cod, a sea bass, few lobsters and a couple of edible crabs.

Went initially around to the propeller and the rudder, then up past lots of the dredging scoops and around to the bow.

Nice viz - which we continue to have this year. Definitely worth the 4am start to get down for this day's diving!
