OK then, we currently have some very poor inshore viz off of Dover and some very good offshore viz. The Andaman lies in the boundary kind of area of the two.

Now i have just been speaking to Dave and we feel it is worth looking at other options for this dive, and we have narrowed it down to 2 options really.

Option 1. Head out via the Andaman and have a look at the water around her, if it look naff, which there is a good chance it will, carry on out to the WW1 Torpedo Boat Destroyer HMS Flirt, which is in about 38m of water and has some very good viz out there. The down side of this is that most of us will not have the best gas for this dive

Option 2 is to go for a totally different wreck, in a different direction and dive the Sabac which is a BIG Yugoslavian freighter which sits VERY proud in 55m of water, with the bridge around 40m and the decks at 45m. She is out past the Varne bank and gets some top quality viz (10m in that area today). This would probably better suit peoples gasses.

So could i have some vote's for Option 1 or Option 2. Dave will keep me posted on the viz situation (he is out all day on Tuesday) and if the Andaman is on we will stick with that.

[Paul Oliver]

Could also go for Option 1A and go straight for HMS Flirt so we can optimize our Gas? I kind of like that option

[divegyrl]

I'm happy to do either 1A or 2
Flirt direct seems a better option than checking out the Andaman & then heading off to Flirt, I trust Dave to find us the best viz and I know we'll have a great dive whatever we do

[Paul Oliver]

We would virtually pass the Andaman going to the Flirt, however for me i would like to optimize my gas if we are going there. Its also one i have been wanting to dive for years Guaranteed 15m of viz
