Duo-Divers

A scenic of a couple of divers with part of the superstructure infront of them.

One of the spotting masts, I am assuming that there is a ladder inside for the crew to climb up to the exposed station located high above the deck

Another larger boiler, showing the fire hole, head from the donkey boiler back along a 10m deep zone and you'll find it.

A scenic of some of the ribs, again plates missing and loads of brittle stars and 'poor cod'

Sea Hare (aplysia punctata) you get loads and loads of them on the south side of the point feeding and breeding!

Mid-way along the site is an area of angular boulders which go further up the wall (?) they appear new, with very little life attached' but have been there over 30 years. Look carefully and you will find crustaceans among the jumble.

A 'bow shot', I try to get one of these on every wreck

This is what remains of the bows, when the plates fell apart the bow fell forward as the supporting structure had been removed

Another arty shot of the stringy like Bootlace Weed (Chorda filum) that is found in lower inter-tidal water. Apparently quite tasty too!

On this particular site on this day there were loads of smallish Edible Crabs (Cancer pagurus) quite an unusual sight as they don't normally show in shallow water.

A view of the sections of masts if you are heading towards the Hopper, they are in a section of sand filled gully at the base of the rock face

A Ling (Molua molua), this one zipped past me at speed and went into it's hidey hole, it was quite a size, maybe three feet long.

A high altitude gun, you would have needed some 'minerals' to be operating this even with the aeroplanes and airships of the period!

Part of the engine assembly, in this case a con rod on the main shaft, not easy to get a sense of scale but it's B----I----G.

More girders and struts, this is a good distance from the main lumps of superstructure but the shallow water and big seas does increasingly move stuff about

And the business end of the same gun, in this case a crab has set-up shop but most of the time they are home to conger eels!
