Duo-Divers

The rock formations are formed so that the 'vertical cliff' faces the shore and the slopes lead away to the east. You can see that the faces are quite fractured and home to loads of different life, some edible some not so

Don't try this at home kids!!!

A Long Clawed Squat Lobster (Munida rugosa) I tried to get something a bit different for this shot, not sure if it worked.

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

A white german fire brick, the engine area has been heavily salvaged so there are a few bricks dotted about

A Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris), there are loads about this year (2016) you just have to get your eye in to spot 'em.

Part of the anchor assembly that is concreted into the sea-bed, you can see the anchor behind the main, round, rusty bit

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

K - So the next step was to find someone to make a base, I thought about mounting on four wooden legs but that was 'too vanilla' so we went to a local blacksmith

A view of the business end of an Angler-fish (Lophius piscatorious) there are loads about the sites and once you've spotted one they become easier to see.

The business end of one of the secondary armament guns

These Spiny Starfish (Marthasterias glacialis) are very common and again in common with most starfish a good subject for macro work as you can get close and take very good textural and close up shots.

The northern, vertical rock face is smothered in hydroids, sea-squirts and boring corals but no dead mans fingers, it's still nice and pretty in bright conditions

A gun sticking out from the side of the wreck, along with a few 'blurry' coalfish

At the stern there is evidence of anchor chains

Somewhere in the welter of bubbles is a diver, getting into the water is easy, waddle from your car over the flat concrete and kinda 'fall in'

Even more bits from the broken up boiler.......

Plastic waste.....................arrrrrgh!

A couple of female Ballan Wrasse (Labrus bergylta) I think that they are in nesting mode, certainly the males are bright and flighty!

This Pink (or Northern) Prawn (Pandalus montagui) was being actively stalked by a Common Lobster (Homarus Gammarus), you can see the lobbies claws!

Bits of MV Yewglen wedged and jammed into the Little Rock

Maybe not totally original but having bullied the crab I pushed my torch inside the barrel of this gun..............

A turbine or part thereof or a focussing arrangement from a search-light?

A view through the boilers from 'nearly inside'

The closest that I can find is a lightly coloured Green Crab (Carcinus maenas) but it doesn't sit right as this one was almost orange in colour. I shall keep looking and update if I can get more details.
