Really good guide Mike (Ozzy) We were briefed on the front of the boat this time by Ruth She told us abit more about the wreck and what we were expecting to see inside the wreck and the route we were going to take. Every1 descended down to hold 4 where the bomb had struck and torn thru the hold. We okay'd at the bottom and switched our torches on and 1 by 1 congered into the other holds first was the empty hold where they kept the coal which has now all disintegrated. It was very open and eery there was lots of glass fish in here. We headed thru a hole and over a large personel truck, we saw loads of rubber boots. We then headed over lots of BSA motorcycles over some more large jeeps/trucks there was alot of electrical cabling, we came out from the lower decks and ascended up to the bridge where i spotted a great big croc fish lying right on the top i didnt see it as i passed over it i looked thru the a port hole and then popped my head up to see where my buddy was and bang it was right their in my face! From here we headed across the damaged area and then ascended up the shot line. AMAZING dive
