Arty-farty shot of a pinnacle
A grey seal pup (Halichoerus grypus) on a rock almost saying come closer........
Round sections......it looks very similar to the cross-member on the old admiralty pattern anchor that I lifted from SoP in 2015 but not sure
To have a swim and try to........
It's always a good idea to keep looking up when swimming close to the rock-face as you will get shoals of baitfish, be that 'brit' or sandeels swimming around and if your luck is in you may see them being attacked by predators, be that avian or piscine!
Everywhere that you look the bottom isn't bedrock, it is formed from sections of ship, although it is all well broken up and smothered in filter feeders which acts as a reminder that the dive is particularly tidal.
On one particular stone there were loads of Candy striped flatworms (Prostheceraeus vittatus), not sure why as adjacent areas were devoid.
Not sure what these sections are or did but there are several on the site so unless they form an integral part of a gun carriage we can say that the pipes are not cannon
You will certainly get a few chances for 'davit' shots on the wreck, with lots pointing inboard which shows that lifeboats weren't launched in the minutes before she sank, hence the large loss of life.
A Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris), there are loads about this year (2016) you just have to get your eye in to spot 'em.
Until we were lens to nose, so to speak!
Debris all around and most unidentifiable, in this case it's a 'wheel type thingie'......
The wooden floor is disappearing over time, allowing more light to penetrate the wreck which is a double edged sword, do you want to do real penetration diving into 35m+ on a single?
Not sure what these parts are, they are inside the broken up boiler
A view of the bottom plus another piece of large debris, again WTF?
My 'northern most' lobbie, she was a good size and provided food for all of us along with rice and a delightful lemon and butter sauce.
On the West side of the site towards the South, the bottom shallows slightly and changes from grit to fist sized stones.
Debris all around and most unidentifiable, in this case it's a part of a mast or kingpost arrangement, I think!
Girders and struts from I am assuming the top structure of MV Yewglen
