Dive reports : dj diver...... 31/7/07 ......, Cupar put their rib on it and we moored up with them and used their shot. Got down the shot and onto the stern section. The wreck is basically broken into 3 parts with other bits of debris scattered about. We had a quick scoot about here before moving on. Cupar SAC laid guide ropes all round the wreck a couple of years ago and it makes navigation a lot easier. Passing the centre section which is now pretty flat, the bow section came quickly into view . I realised at this point that the viz was pretty good...about 5-6m, which is good for this wreck. Spent most of the time on this section. The majority of plates have fallen off now although the ribs are still up on some sections. There's a lot of tangled spars and other debris in the middle of the wreck providing a great many 'hidey holes' for lots of critters. Much of the metalwork is covered in anemones and dead men's fingers. Also came across a lot of lobster, cod and wrasse, no seals this time though! Ended the dive after a very satisfying 50 mins surfacing safely and recovered onto rib. Headed back home and checked a couple of other potential sites. Good day out
