Other comments: If you want to dive her contact JimB who owns her and he would also appreciate it if nothing is lifted from the wreck he is trying very hard to preserve the wreck as she is, and he is not lifting anything from her himself - he'd very much like it if others do likewise.

Dive Report: Kieran Hatton 28/6/11 The plan for Wednesday was the Remura; she was a cargo liner and big at over11000 tons. A short[ish] run out of Fraserburgh put us onsite in very favorable conditions, descending down the shot it was obvious that we had got the vis back compared with yesterday. The shot had gone in just forward of the break in the boiler rooms; the first thing that strikes you is the size of this thing. Swimming over and between the boilers and out past the engine made for a great swim through and really put the dive into scale. Heading round the deck side the ship has collapsed over to port [it is still 10m+ proud of the seabed] the intact portholes still sit in their respective places albeit at a slightly different angle, I’d say I got just a bit further forward that the main super structure as I came across the remains of a mast/derrick and main deck features such as mooring bollards came into view. Stu ventured a bit further and came across masses of bones; she carried refrigerated cargo and was inbound from New Zealand loaded with beef.
