Notes : |
I was looking for more information on her, so I've started an entry. Dived in July 1998 in viz. about 10m (dived in summer 1996 in viz. 0m!!), and penetrated two decks in below bridge structure, which is broken. Decks have lost wood, but caulking remains, lots of deck gear, and portholes (tho' less every year). Obviously a variable dive, but potentially one of the best unless you're a mad tekkie (we did a longish hang on Nitrox, but that's not really tek, is it?). |
