7.9m - 24 min - Dived with Scuba Zone
First dive for the PADI wreck diving certification. Entered the water with a giant's stride and swam to the buoy pointing to a wreck. Once on the bottom we assured neutral buoyancy and swam around the wreck. We then practised sculling and flutter kicks before penetrating the wreck twice. 2 nice crayfish were inside the wreck and around it there was a swarm of perches.

Second dive for the wreck diving course. We went to a place in wraysbury where there are a number of wrecks one on the side of the other one. Very nice dive. We penetrated one otherwise it was a way to practise with sculling, deploying SMB and memorising the layout of wrecks.

Third dive for wreck dive course. We swam to the buoy marking the wreck of the Stanegarth and descended following the line. On the bottom we started sketching the boat starting from the bearing, depth at different places, highlight possible points of entry, count the distances between entry and exit points using number of fin strikes. We then examined the boat from outside and terminated by deploying an external line for training. Once completed working on the Stanegarth we did some sightseeing. We saw the "Defiant" and passed through the cabin. We finished at the Nautilus and played a bit going under one of the bumps of "Nessie".

Last dive for the wreck diving course. After studying the sketches of the Stanegarth we decided to penetrate the wreck in the cargo area so we dived again and penetrated the boat deploying the line. Dive completed with some sightseeing and deployment of SMB
