Solsett first
Unknown blip second
Illinoys third
BUT
The Illinoys is all about viz. Its like the Moldavia the wreck is famous for red sea type viz and the shere spectiacl of an intact wreck where you can see half the wreck from 40m on the shot is what that dive is all about but I was just unlucky to hit a bad day.
Pete is a SERIOUS brass diver yet he was willing to spend two dives diving a wreck with no brass on it. That is vilification enough for me to beleive that this must be a stunning wreck in the right conditions.
The Solsett is fantastic and I know 45m sounds deep (it cirtanly did to me last year) but in realality you can get a good bottom time with as little as 30mins of stops on the way home so its a very do-able dive for someone into accelorated deco. It has a fair bit of silt on it so I would still recommend the Moldavia over the Solsett for any one doing this depth for the first time.
PS Howard we are booking 5 winter dives on the Moldavia. They will all be Saterdays on Defiant out of little hampton on the Morning tide so let me know if your interested. December 30th was my best Mol dive of the year by the by.
