Duo-Divers

Ahhhh, bollards! Well at least this is an identifiable lump in the middle of the wreckage

I messed around with the images as the three larger holes do have a look of 'The Scream' by Munch, what do you think?

Looking out from the Haven towards Inner Farnes, I didn't walk a long way down the beach because it was ghastly

E - And based on the black colouration it was quite old, it was confirmed by experts that the timber was circa 17th century so very, very old!

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!

A Tompot blenny (Parablennius gattorugine), this one was sitting out in the open.

These weeds 'reached for the surface' and with the small fish swimming about they were like trees and the fish like birds, this time with the pier steps shown going into the water.

The reel/rod feet were a bit of a chew, I tried to machine the brass to take a couple of M3 cheesehead screws but that wasn't 'right' so ended up brazing on the feet and then 'back filling' the machined holes for that little bit extra strength

Still at the stern section, exterior plate with holes, any brass has long, long gone

A typical north east wreck dive, plates, boilers n bits. In this case probably Jan Van Ryswyck although a few vessels have foundered so the bits are somehwhat mixed!

Back quarter shot all done and pre-mounting.

Ribs on the port side near the bow of SS Thesis, you can see from the 'raw metal' that this area has not had a chance to be colonised by sea-life since the last lot of hull plate fell away. Sad but considering it's age not surprising.

These weeds 'reached for the surface' and with the small fish swimming about they were like trees and the fish like birds, pretty?

The 'hump' of anchor chain

A tiny Long Spined Sea Scorpion (Taurulus bubalis) this one was less than 10mm long!

More wrecky bits against the reef face
