Duo-Divers

A Lions Mane Jellyfish (Cyanea capillata), when they are about deco stops are always 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!

Debris all around and most unidentifiable, in this case it's a part of a mast or kingpost arrangement, I think!

The barrel of one of the secondary guns

Atmospheric shot of a Lions Mane Jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) come late summer there are more and more close to shore, watch out that pack quite a sting!

A pair of brittle stars (Ophiura ophiura) these critters are actually quite rapid and much faster than other types of starfish

A part view of the plans of SS Somali! Showing the 'special cargo' area which is relevant on a few fronts.

The engine block, the shot-line is tied to this

A Velvet Swimming Crab (Necora puber) this one was worth a photo as it had a starfish set up shop on its shell

The only place that I have ssen something similar is a 'fancy support' to a compass binnacle, this however would not have been fitted to MV Yewglen and is obviously an earlier vintage

Not really sure what this chain drive will have been uised for, it's in the area of the engine room....possibly part of the ships telegraph arranegment?

Not all rust, here is a Dragonet (Callionymus lyra)

Inside the tunnel, you can see the permanent line at the ceiling and the relatively good vis, again there is no silt to stir up

George Jacob run by the Marine Quest at Eyemouth

A view into the propellor shaft, simply taking a bearing along the shaft and follow over the sand and you will reach the other part of the wreck

After the propellor the next 'lump' is a set of bollards

The velvet swimming crab (necora puber), there are always some about and 'prod' one and it will swim away.....honest!

By late summer the once bare stems of the kelp are little microcosms of weeds and small animals, the winter storms smashes everything up but twelve months later it's all back.
