Jack Ingle - South Coast Diving Expedition

Jack Ingle
South Coast Diving Expedition

Enjoy 3 days exciting diving aboard the leading Technical Diving boat of Voyager from Littlehampton. The boat is fully equipped for Technical Diving, including low board entry and lifts for exit.

Jack Ingle is leading these expeditions to dive some of the best wreck sites the south coast offers:
HMS Moldavia
The Moldavia was a 9505-ton P & O liner, which became an armed Merchant Cruiser in the 1914-18 war. A U-Boat sank her in 1918 captained by Ober-Leutnant Lohs. She now lies on her port side in 49 metres with her high side at 35 metres. This makes her a very exciting and enjoyable dive with generally excellent visibility. She carried eight 6 inch guns and when built fitted with over 1000 portholes. This wreck is an underwater marine park with large shoals of various fish, many Ling, Congar and the usual vast amounts of Crustacean.
The Mexico
The Mexico was a cargo liner and lies in a maximum depth of 48 metres. She is upright and large hull sections are raised 10 metres from the seabed. The wreck has an enormous amount of fish on it. One dive on it this year, we had 15 metres visibility and full daylight penetration. During the descent the wreck looked like it was moving with the amount of fish swimming over the site.
The Duke
This is a cargo vessel that sunk in 1898 whilst carrying glass and chinaware from Holland to India. This is a very interesting wreck to dive with lots of different types of glass cargo to see. The load includes small china glass candleholders, tumblers, jars, teapots, dishes, plates and oil lamps.
The British Commerce
A General cargo vessel sunk prior to the First World War, which is laden with many various artefacts. She is very open and like all the wrecks in this area has abundant sea life with excellent visibility

These are just some of the sites that could be dived, others include The Donegal, Zanstrum, Basil, Submarines and many more. These wrecks are a long way off shore and visibility is usually very good. The actual wrecks dived will be dependent on the teams wishes, conditions at the time and the dive teams current dive fitness levels.
Depths are normally 35 to 50 metres but we do plan special deeper wreck sites for trimix divers and if you are interested in these please contact us.
All divers must be a minimum of Dive leader, Dive Master or equivalent.
Expedition price of £310 includes 3 days diving, 3 days lunch, all divers Air and Nitrox fills, decompression support systems, spare decompression gas and support divers to assist the dive team. (Accommodation is not included but you will be sent a list of local hotels and guesthouses for you to book direct). Dependant on fuel prices there could be a fuel surcharge.

OK, so take it up with Jack (I dare you)

I'm just posting on YD the content of an email I just recd from him

[DecoWarrior]

well sorry but an expedition to me is one where you do something new or look for something differant that not many others have done selling these wrecks as an expedition is bigging it up a bit, i mean these wrecks are tourist wrecks really hardly an expedition by any stretch and are support divers really necessary i think that is a bit overkill for these wrecks!!!!!

[wreckweasel]

Kieron,

For some these are still big dives... if they're happier with support divers and coughing way over the odds to do the dive, thats kinda their call.

The Voyager was not in existence in the early ninties when tech diving took off over here.
The Michelle Mary was though, with the Starfish Enterprise group being one of the first.

Michelle Mary Leads others just follow!

[DecoWarrior]

i can recall ds9 doing those wrecks a long time ago i remember becaus my old bsac club were doing them ages ago

and the other thing was the price i suspect afew people on that trip would be getting acushy little number hundred quid a dive to do the mol and mexico i would avoid that on principal!

if some one had put loads of time and effort into research and finding new marksa and they get a few free dives then fair enough but when theres no traing and he is charging hundredf quid a dive hes having a laugh
