Other comments: Her previous name was SS Actor, she was bombed and sunk by German aircraft in 1940 4 miles east of Montrose on voyage Buenos Aires to The Tyne. She is broken into two sections which are close together...but far enough apart to get lost going between them The bow section is covered in fishing gear... its a very big wreck...

Dive Report: Puddle pirate, Aug 07, Dived Nailsea River in the mid nintys approx poss, Wreck is upright I tied in shot line to one of the main anchors on bow full strech only just made it round. Bow is intact, parts of the decking fallen away. Depth 57m. Aberdeen guys had scooters did most of the wreck. Interesting trip home to Arbroath lost dive gear over the side, have a read of Rod Macdonalds book In To The Abyss, there is a chapter on the trip.
Dive Report: Gavindiver 13/06/2010 Dived from Redbay 10. Long 2mt lazy swell, Overcast sky. Jelly fish and some bloom as is to be expected in the shallows. I dived solo as my buddy lost gas at surface, Group of three others dived together. I shortened my dive as I could not find the other divers. Seemed like a huge ship but I was unsure where on the ship I was. Others did a far….. longer dive and have a greater understanding of the ship.
