Duo-Divers

The barrel of one of the secondary guns

Doesn't look much but this is the tip of a propellor, a close up shot!

L - And this is how it ended up, picked up on 1st March 2018 and finished a year later 

A Northern Prawn (Padalus borealis) sitting on a Dead-mans finger (Alcyonium digitatum), when you slow down and l-o-o-k there are loads of these prawns all over the sites.

Fore-deck equipment, in this case a single anchor chain winding unit, usually powered the holes at the top allow it to be used 'mandraulically' if required.

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!

A very scenic dip with dead mans fingers (Alcyonium digitatum) covering hard rock with boulders in some of the larger gullies.

The 'hump' of anchor chain

Another bit of a small windlass arrangement, or alternatively as it is in a certain location part of the lifting tackle that was mounted on the masts and superstructure of the vessel?

There was a bit of solder 'snot' but this was easily removed by turning and gentle work with a dremel.

I was stuck three days in this because I decided to stay overnight after picking up the piece of ancient wood that was the winter project 2018/19, was it worth it? Probably.

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.

Starboard side and the wreck is slowly disappearing on a flooding tide...

A very large, well the largest that I have ever seen Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris), if hunting occies look for the eyes, they cannot change their 'slitted' eyes which look at you as an equal rather than some other sea creatures which appear not to have the intellegence of this species.

Into Staple Sound and providing there is no current its just coarse sand and fist sized stones with some Dead mans fingers (Alcyonium digitatum) and other small creatures, not worth the swim guys!

Looking back towards the Carnatic from the bowsprit, Abu Nuhas Reef

Common edible and tasty lobster (homarus gammarus) the area is home to a multitude of them!

The entry to the tunnel, it's straight with no real hazards but when you go in you cant see the end so not for the faint hearted!

A very large, well the largest that I have ever seen Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris), I knew that there was a big occie about as there is a noticeable 'lair' with loads of smashed edible crab parts, the trouble is that inside their hidey holes there is nothing to see.
