If you drop down you will find cracks, crevices, nooks and crannies but the darkness does restrict life a little
A Long Clawed Squat Lobster (Munida rugosa) I tried to get something a bit different for this shot, not sure if it worked.
On the southern side the edge is under-cut close to the deep gutter, with various critters living in the space under the rock
A very scenic dip with dead mans fingers (Alcyonium digitatum) covering hard rock with boulders in some of the larger gullies.
When looking for 'bits' look for colours that leap out at you, this piece of copper just doesn't blend in with the sea-bed.
A Hermit Crab (Pagurus bernhardus) had set up shop in an old whelk shell, te problem was that it was far to small and spent most of the time looking out of a hole half way down the shell!
A Tompot blenny (Parablennius gattorugine), this one was sitting out in the open.
In the actual 'submarine hole' it is an absolute mishmash of bits concreted onto the bottom, in this case a heavy gauge cable has been concreted onton steel and rock
A Lions Mane Jellyfish (Cyanea capillata), when they are about deco stops are always interesting!
Flat bits of plate, be that deck or hull are all over the site, I think they are deck as they are flat with very little in the way of thick metal ribs, but I do get things wrong.
A stowed tangle net, complete with part decayed guillimot.
Dropping into the main gully one of the first things that you notice is the rust stained sand and then larger pieces of wreckage start to appear.
A view of the business end of an Angler-fish (Lophius piscatorious) there are loads about the sites and once you've spotted one they become easier to see.
A very scenic dip with dead mans fingers (Alcyonium digitatum) covering hard rock with boulders in some of the larger gullies.
This is a section of I guess superstructure where the plate has long since been bashed/rusted away. There are plenty of bits like this around the site but this one, at the inshore end of the main gully, is odd-ball as it 'sits up' meaning that any photos can be a bit more interesting.
A typical north east wreck dive, plates, boilers n bits. In this case probably Jan Van Ryswyck although a few vessels have foundered so the bits are somehwhat mixed!
Bollards! I don't know if these are solid, I suspect not but they are one of the parts of the wreck that can be positively identified.
A grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) the reason loads of divers visit the islands, against a back drop of The Hopper
All placed together and nearly done!
Dead Mans Fingers (Alcyonium digitatum), a close up of the feeding 'polyps'?
A bit of a view from the wall out, you can see the bloody lobster pot string and maybe see that the topography at this point is 'saw tooth' even though the height change is less than one meter.
