Plymouth 25/26 March off Furious,

[Paul Oliver]

Dear Divers

I have provisionally booked Furious out of Plymouth for this weekend 25/26 March, with the aim of doing HMS Scylla (About 28m max), The James Egan Layne (25m max) and possibly the Persier (in around 30m). The boat as you can see comes with a very nice lift and the Skipper and his wife run a B&B which only costs £12 a night.

Furious

I have yet to confirm the boat costs but if you expect about £35 each per day (subject to me filling the boat) you will not be far off. So about £70 for 4 dives and another £24 for 2 nights accom, making it about £94 for the weekend + Gas.

The dive programme will be something like:-
Sat - HMS Scylla in the morning and the JEL in the afternoon.
Sun - Persier in the morning and the Scylla in the afternoon.

Wreck Tour:- HMS Scylla

Wreck Tour:- James Egan Layne

Wreck Tour:- Persier

Let me know if you want a place, i will sort out the payment details once the Skipper gets back from Spain in a few weeks, but will not need anything till at least mid Feb.

I dived here in early March last year and we had about 8m of viz and 8-9 Deg water temperature, i was doing 70-90 min dives which included a lot of time hanging around doing Deco and was fine in a drysuit. It was a lot colder on the surface than in the water and i was on a Rhib with no shelter from the wind. Minimum qualification for this trip is Sport Diver or equivalent.

Hi Paul,

Plymouth skippers tend not to like crossing the sound from one side to the other (Persier/Scylla). Although Pete may not be bothered. The usual 2nd dive from the Persier is Hillsea Point, a rock pinnacle with swim through if you can find it.

Tempted by the Persier...

PS Goint to catch your blob on the Scylla again?

[Paul Oliver]

Hi Adrian

Yeah, thats why i made it a provisional plan. Will firm it up once Pete gets back from Spain. Bit expensive on the old mobile while he is abroad.
