Duo-Divers

Holes in the front of the fin, makes things much easy to put on and take off as the water isn't hydraulic'd and can squirt out when you put the fun in and enter when you are taking them off.

I had to add one shot of wreckage that could be identified, so you have the stern of SS Rondo which of course you recognised despite the dirty water!

A small shellfish, probably some type of oyster. I took this photograph as I have never seen one before and thought it may be a 'foreign invader', it isn't!

Kelp (Family laminariales) does tend to be quite a long lived plant with the stem above say the first twenty centimeters quite a safe place for a plant to grow without the risk of sea-urchins 'browsing' you away. In this case dulse and other sea-weed encases the stem, making an eco-system up in the water column!

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?

This is the 'type' of bottom which I was talking about, formed from loads of worm tubes, it's quite soft and sandy so can feel crunchy if your buoyancy control is poor.

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

This is the top of the sternpost

Debris all around and most unidentifiable, in this case it's a section of hull plating.

One of the attarcations is a boat, a good place to write general abuse and look for things to remove and keep (why?)

You will also see loads of starfish, this is a sunstar (Crossaster poppasus) and these can be many shades of red-purple depending on what they have been eating.

A Sea lemon (Dorididae) on dull purple sea-weed, these nudibranchs are always easy to spot and this shows why!
