I'm happy with any depth Past 30 the wrecks are far more intacked if this is avaliable.

Raglan is one of the Manacles - goes down to 43m on 3 of the sides IIRC.

The shore dive is Drawna - I think we got to about 16m on it last week.

As for wrecks past 30m, I'd be happy to do a couple of these as long as its not too deep - not worried about the depth, just like a reasonable dive time without racking up loads of deco (I get bored )

I thought that was vase rock?

It could be - I've gone with what Porthkerris have told me on their dive briefings

However, Vase & Raglan are part of the manacles as far as I'm aware - so definitely not shore dives (well unless you like a really, really long swim

Looking at http://www.diveaction.co.uk/manacles.html, they seem to be 2 seperate sites but similar in terms of depth etc.

Simon - depths to 40m, twin 12's
Andrea - depths to 40m, twin 7's

Simon

Kathy - depths to 30m, twin 12s

Kathy & Gary, don't worry about the depth - as I said in the first post on the thread:

Diving is generally in the 20-35m range

so I've not really organised this as a depth-monster weekend

Now then Mr. M you know I couldn't do that, too pricey

Plus I've got no where to store it and I'd have no where to live if I did purrrchase one!!!

They're pretty close together. You can get about 50m on Vase if you really want to, though obviously you can pick your own depth and they both come very close to the surface. Vase used to break the surface until the Mohegan knocked the top off with its rudder.

I'd say Raglan was the prettier of the two.
