Andaman Dive - Dover Wed 18 Oct

[Paul Oliver]

OK then i have Neptune booked to dive the very big and intact Andaman on Wed 18 Oct, ropes off at 1230 for a single dive day, cost as long as i fill the boat will be £25.



This large Swedish ship built in 1947 displacing 4765 Ton is 146m long with a beam of 20m and she lies on her side in 52m of water and stands up 24m proud She sunk following a collision on 24 May 1953 and there is still silver bullion in her holds to be had

If the viz looks to be poor in this area i will be looking to change to the Sabac which is another huge freighter upright and intact in 55m, decks at about 45m.

Now this sort of trip is why I'm tempted to go twin set.

Debs,

I would say min of 30m as long as we go in at the shallow point, probably better to expect 35m which the way Dave anchors in has a good chance, however i am planning this as a 50m dive but don't expect to go below 45-48m and would suggest this is what you should be looking at.

I have not dived this as i have always been blown out or had ear problems on the one time i got into the water on her

Chasey and Getafix should be able to give a better profile hopefully.

Righto - 25-27% mix depending on who is blending in the shed that day
