Duo-Divers

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

A part view of the plans of SS Somali! Showing the 'special cargo' area which is relevant on a few fronts.

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

Bits of MV Yewglen wedged and jammed into the Little Rock

A pair of Long Clawed Squat Lobster (Munida rugosa) scrapping, not the best of shots because they fled after the first photograph.

The sternpost of the Mistley is maybe 20 yards away next to a large pinnacle, I guess that she hit the pinnacle before foundering closer to land

A view over the broken 'bottom' with a random diver. At times the site does resemble diver soup usually when prevailing conditions are poor limiting access to other areas or when the seals are in residence.

A common hermit crab (Pagurus bernhardus), I just couldn't get it to stay still to get a shot of it's back end!

An arty fary half and half shot

Girders and bits and bats that have flattened onto the bed-rock in the main gully

Lost fishing line, sometimes obvious, other times not so. Always take some cutting gear and never try to snap braid using fingers or hands!

Bear with me....its the port side hawse pipe and the two 'eyes' are where the flukles of the anchor located to sop them 'bashing about' when the ship was operating at high speed or inclement seas.

In common with most southern sites there were loads of Snale locks anemones (Anemonia viridis) on surfaces where there was sun and water movement.

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 Red Cushion Star (Porania pulvillus) this one was half on/half off a hatch so made quite a nice subject as there was access to the top as per this shot.

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 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.

If you want to head into the wreck this is one of the access points!

Huzzah, I do like finding a tosheroon, in this case where tide and rock formation have caused a build up of lost fishing weights. You can rapidly find a huge amount of weights if you are scouring a virgin area as there tends to be quite a few of these on any length of reef
