Few pics and vids from my dive the weekend.

30metre dive to a MASSIVE wreck called The Newcastle. It was a 3500 Tonne British steamer which was sunk by a mine in 1915.

The size of it is so hard to explain... its just bloody huge!

Anyway few pics






Also saw Dave the Dolphin and sman along with it

so is £170 about right to get started? All i will need to buy is a dry suit apparently and they provide the rest.

It feels like a whole other planet... its amazing.

You can settle on top of the wreck and just sit there and listen and its just silent.... its awesome!

This is what i'm used to. I think i've been spoiled. To cold for me to dive round here.

On a wreck dive there was an air pocket about 20m deep. Because of all the dives over the years you could take out your regulator and talk to people. But it is expelled air so you can't stay there long.
