Notes : |
A cool wreck. She lies inverted with some large holes in her and some bits of her around the place. She is just off St. Davids life boat station in ramsey sound. Look for a small bouy in the middle of the bay. This currently (and usually I believe) leads you down onto the boiler which stands proud of the wreck. Moving south brings you along the side of her, you can look in thropugh the ma ny holes blasted into her and there naturally. Some big pollack and pouting on this wreck.
Moving further forrard (i think, north) you find bits of rail blown off. You can get inside this wreck but its a squeeze. There is one part around the stern where you can go accross the beam. Viz is generally good. I had 8-10m this is usually coz ramsey sound is a seething boiling devils cauldron deathtrap. You must be careful to dive in slack. (Dunno when this is, our intrepid leader and veteran diver Jim Phillips took us) If I remember it was around 1hour maybe 2 before high tide. Though this is very much based on my poor memory. We drove through during a major tidal movement so we could see what it was like when it was seething. Frightening, the water was swirling everywhere.
