HMS Untiring

Diving today out of Plymouth on the wreck of HMS Untiring a submarine. She was sunk in 1957 by the RN as a sonar target and lies intact in 55m sat upright with a slight lean over to starboard. The visibility was around 10m but it was fairly gloomy and dark due to the large amount of Plankton in the water, so a torch was needed. She is covered in Plumose Anemones and is a mass of colour and life. We spent 25 minutes on the bottom with a total run time of 60 mins it was a cracking dive. Coming up we could see the sun on the surface from 20m. Water temperature was around 11 degrease so it was pleasant enough for the run time. Diving again on Wednesday night out of Plymouth on something in 65m all good build up dives for our trip to Malin Head at the end of June.

Red Sea

Just got back from another cracking week of diving in the Red Sea. Weather was unreal 42 degrease on the hottest day. Spent the week running an Open Circuit Trimix course for a lady from Australia. She had a great week in which we dived on Trimix on 3 days with the deepest dive being 56 meters. Her and her husband are planning a trip to Vanuatu an island off Australia to dive the President Coolidge in 2012. Guess who wangled an invite? Looking forward to getting back out there soon as the sharks are starting to come back, I heard stories of a 3m Tiger in Tiran and an Oceanic White tip around the Thistlegorm whilst the boats were moored up over night. It gets better and better.
