Dive reports: Gavin Barnett 3rd August 2009 Inspo Vision Gas dil Tx 16/45 Bailout 7lt tx18/40 & 7lt nx50% (me maybe not quite enough bail out gas choco not a hope) Dive time 1hr 16mins mins left bottom at 21 mins Choco and I dived this wreck earlier this year (stern section). We had super 25m vis. Recorded a max depth of 65m. Some nice gauges in the engine room. We saw the bonnie toilet on the deck in very strange position. The decking and superstructure are gone so you get right into the hull. In fact just as Kevin Pickering first clip shows Anglo Dane
