Duo-Divers

A large lobster (Homarus gammarus) in between two plates, these only come out at night!

A Long Legged Spider Crab (Macropodia rostrata) there are loads on all or most sites, this one didn't have a huge amount of camouflage, I guess that he had recently shed his exoskeleton

And when you reach the 'bootlace' seaweed you know that the exit point is near, if in doubt stick your head up, the depth will be down to between one and two meters now depending on the tide.

The lower mounting position where the pin would fit

Going up and some other bugger was on the line 'fizzin'

I also like Hermit Crabs (Pagurus bernhardus) and try to get a photo of them wherever I dive!

Debris all around and most unidentifiable, in this case it's looks a bit like the trunion end of a cannon, which obviously it can't be. On reflection the end of a mast?

Not sure what these sections are or did but there are several on the site so unless they form an integral part of a gun carriage we can say that the pipes are not cannon

You can see the sweep of the bow on this shot and a few of the ribs sticking out of the sand

Arty-farty shot of a pinnacle

D - In the end the woodshop on the Duke of Northumberlands estate did the honour

Christophe Badesco, a monster of the deep

Some details on the boat

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.

Plastics, arrrrrrgh!

A lobster (Homarus gammarus), there are more and more blue fiends on this site, to the extent that they are being potted as shown in this shot!

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 young and undecorated Decorator Crab, or technically a Long Legged Spider Crab (Macropodia rostrata) loads of em on SS Glanmire on weekend on 1st April.

Another boiler, this one has a large lump of machinery to the south and is pretty much intact
