Duo-Divers

Doesn't look much but this is the tip of a propellor, a close up shot!

When the sand starts having odd cobbles dotted on it then you are reaching the end and expect to see boulders and kelp again!

Back quarter shot all done and pre-mounting.

View two of a bilge sieve, these were fitted to the open ends of bilge pipes to make sure that no large crud which may block the pump could be drawn into the system.

And the third anchor, I am not sure why she would carry three anchors, there would be one on each side of the bows, I am guessing that there was a spare somewhere on the foredeck.

You will certainly get a few chances for 'davit' shots on the wreck, with lots pointing inboard which shows that lifeboats weren't launched in the minutes before she sank, hence the large loss of life.

When you get really close to the bows it does become a little more ship-like

You get two colours of Plumose Anemone (Metridium senile) white and orange, both look like cold willies when closed up but very pretty when open and feeding!

If you drop down you will find cracks, crevices, nooks and crannies but the darkness does restrict life a little

Typical geology, the surfaces are covered in Dead mans fingers (Alcyonium digitatum), the bottom being small vertical faces, rocks and large boulders....all very scenic and pretty in good vis!

Everywhere that you look the bottom isn't bedrock, it is formed from sections of ship, although it is all well broken up and smothered in filter feeders which acts as a reminder that the dive is particularly tidal.

The vis tends to be good as the bottom and walls are stone rather than silty mud like some other UK inland dive shites, ooops sites!

Part of the engine assembly, in this case a con rod on the main shaft, not easy to get a sense of scale but it's B----I----G.
