Sorry mate, Maureen won't be a whole lot better on the rolling front. Been on there for a couple of trips and while the service is excellent, the boat does move a fair bit. When we did Normandy with Watcher we say Maureen heading our way - we were just steaming gently in a moderate sea, boat nodding slightly - Maureen was all over the place... 'nuff said.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like the Watcher may have been a better option, should've checked out the forum before. We've used the Maureen before but some years ago. The White hourse was something else though for rolling have been an LSL in it's last life.

I have been on White Horse twice to do Normandy, I have to say that on both occasions I had a good trip. Ok the second time the viz wasn't much good but I guess that just goes with the diving. The food was good and we never went hungary. The wrecks we did were also good although I thought the first time they were better but this was due to the poor viz with the plankton the 2nd time. We also got on all of the wrecks except for one which apparently had been blown up unbeknown to us.

We all got on well with John the skipper as well, I think if you do it how he wants then you won't have a problem, at the end of the day its his business and if anything goes wrong its his head on the block.

Have a good trip
