Diver's Notes

Descended down onto the hull of the mighty SS Thistlegorm before entering the hold.Inside there was old Bedford trucks,Motorcycles all in a rack side by side, aeroplane wings and some old wellington boots from the crew that went down.Swam from room to room with quite a low ceiling so buoyancy had to be good. This was the first sustained overhead environment that I had swam in.Amazing dive.Used torch for inside the wreck as well as using a camera.Inside I also came across the largest Lionfish I've ever seen. Unforgettable dive.
