Diver's Notes

This was the last dive of my 3 day dive adventure with my brother and dad.

This was my 1st wreck dive as well as my brother too, we dove at a ship that was used to transport train tracks from England to South Africa but sank in 1894 when it crashed into a pinnacle. I found it fascinating to be diving around a piece of history like in a museum but except this is not on land and that you can TOUCH it without having anyone tell you not to. We swam around the wreck along with Steven and my dad too experiencing different schools of fish with many colours and shapes. Eventually I saw an eel that scared me, to be honest because I did not see it when I was hovering over the anchor windlass ``the part of ship that raised and lowered anchor``, at least that is what I think it is what I saw.
