Weymouth Diving

Just had a cracking weekend of diving on Skin Deeper out of Weymouth. We did an unnamed wreck christened the Conger Wreck. From the surface the water looked very clear but after entering and looking down the shot line it was clear the Plankton bloom was well and truly in. At about 30m the light disappeared and from then on if you wanted to see anything it would be by torch light. Reaching the wreck in 60m the visibility was around 5m. The wreck was a very small steamer and with a 30 minute bottom time we had managed to swim around the wreck 3 times. Not one I will rush back to.

Sunday we dived a wreck called the Snowdrop the bell was found last year by one of the divers on board. She sank in 1883. The visibility was around 8m and there was some ambient light but to see anything you needed a torch. The wreck was a steamer with the smoke stack still on top of the boiler. She is covered in Lobsters and other fish life and makes a cracking dive and is well worth a look if you are looking for a dive in 60m out of Weymouth.
