Still have a pile of lead balls from the wreck in my old dive bag
I have been on the Aeolian Skye a couple of times I remember stopping at 32 meters and looking at my buddy his mask strap was floating just above his mask where it had popped over his head when he hit the water.
I did the decent thing and put it back for him. It is a good job his mask did not fall off probably due to a small pressure difference. |
Had a fantastic dive on the Volnay this Easter. The guy from the shop at Porthkerris came out and shotted it with us on the rib and I went in to make sure the shot was in the right place for the numpties. Turns out his transits were bang on and the shot was resting tight up against the boilers so we could forget about lift bags and have a cracking dive in upwards of 8m vis. Even better we didn't have any numpties with us so we had the wreck to ourselves.
BTW, if anyone happens to find a big shiny reel without a single ender lying on the bottom just off the boilers can they PM me - one of our guys had the bolt attaching the single ender to his reel come loose during the final dive of the trip.
Also agree with the Kyarra but am undecided by the Sky. Last time I was on it we got the slack wrong and the vis was non existant. Tis the one wreck I want to tick off my list this summer.
