Duo-Divers

Not too happy at all!

An oyster clamped down on the pier. there were quite a few on the pier but I didn't spot any on rocks under the water.......

That's me that is!

Deco stops can eb made less boring trying to get a photo of yourself in gas bubbles coming from guys who have just got onto the shot-line, sad but true!

A colour shot of another breech assembly

A shot of the sea-bed in about twenty five meters off the Harcarrs, its all flat rock, small gravel beds and short drop offs.

What looks like a small 'donkey boiler, it was certainly of very robust rivetted construction

Following questions to experts they are all agreed that it was a 'porpoise' with the natural history museum going a bit further and saying 'probably' a harbour porpoise.

The second anchor, again of a Danfort design.

A group of Peacock fan worms (Sabella pavonina), these worms will 'snap' shut as soon as they sense water movement by the diver, so photographers take care.

A scenic of the bow, due to the previous salvage operation it has 'snapped' and fallen away from centre to left of the photograph

The divers favourite a Tompot Blenny (Parablennius gattorugine) it's probably the 'mad hair-cut' that makes them popular, this one was on the steps looking for scraps

This is the 'gutter' in the middle of the site, with the steep side and shelving northern side meeting about 1/3 way out from south skeer.

Bits of MV Yewglen wedged and jammed into the Little Rock

Divers on the stern section, this gives some sense of scale

A small shellfish, probably some type of oyster. I took this photograph as I have never seen one before and thought it may be a 'foreign invader', it isn't!

It's here in the more stable bottom where when you look you can see......

An Edible Crab (Cancer pagurus), there a few of these critters about but most if not all are of a size that would mean little or no meat, that said technically they would be legal...

Bits of MV Yewglen wedged and jammed into the Little Rock

This is the lair and just visible part of the Common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) that lives there, if you look in some of the 'squattie burrows' quite a few contain octopus that have eaten the original owner and set up shop!

A male Cuckoo Wrasse (Labrus bimaculatus), this one was very interested in what I was about, approaching the camera dome for a good look-see.

The remains of an Angler-fish (Lophius piscatorious) spotted after the storms of early April 2018
