Duo-Divers

You can probably see from the general topography that the reef or should that be reefs run east west and as you get closer to the access point you will start seeing more bits of reef poking up, kinda pointing the way out!

Looking along the front of the promenade deck, the windows have long gone but the frames remain.

Looking north from the Haven out to sea and the Inner Farnes, it was really bad, really, really bad!

The common nudibranch Polycera quadrileata, if there are 'lots' of protrubences at the head then chances are it's a faeroenis!

To take a few close ups, he got a bit bored and then decided that it would be a 'good thing'.....

As is my wont a scenic shot of the bows.

A general 'look' at the topography, in this case shallow troughs and loads of kelp

The back end of a shaggy mouse slug, or sea mouse or more accurately Aeolidia papillosa, this one was spotted quite early in the season.

A pile of coins! From a modern 20p piece to some very old stuff it collects and stays there until such a time as the sand is moved by a storm

Having extracted this common lobster (Hommarus gammarus) I found it was berried, grrrrh!

A view on the flange end, it's all rusting nicely which is down to the bad conditions 'ripping away' the weed......the metal rusts, weeds recolonise, weeds are ripped off and around we go until there is no metal left!

The propellor from SS Abessinia, due to the absence of a shaft was it lost 'mid-salvage' or was this the spare cast iron part?

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!

The vis was crap which meant that I was unable to get good shots of wreckage, nut the dirt in the water meant a huge amount of filter feeders were 'out' such as Dead Mans Fingers (Alcyonium digitatum), the shots were a bit atmospheric but came out okay I think....

The bows of SS Breda, or at least the very front of the cut down bow section after she was wire cut to 28ft.

Sea Hare (aplysia punctata)

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

A Common Whelk (Nucella lapillus) I had to double take as this one was eating what seemed to be an edible crab and on checking yup they do eat crabs, amazing!
