TGIF WW1 Cruiser HMS Hermes Gig II - Fri 2 Mar

[Dovershark]

Well the kits packed, torches charged and tables cut. Now just a case of waiting to get out into the channel for what should be a great days diving. Must remember to have change for the parking ticket otherwise it could become a costly dive. Does anybody have an updated weather forecast for tomorrow?

If its as good as today should be perfect.

regards

Only a month to wait until the dive, I'm excited too but not quite as keen as you!

Wrong day, wrong wreck but if Ade makes the meet time he at least won't miss tomorrows dive

[desperation]

has anyone here dived the hermes if so how is she laying I read it is turtle laying or is this not true?

[Paul Oliver]

I've dived her once in a May bloom severl years ago and did not see too much, however apparently there are some very good swim throughs

Paul, is 32m the anticipated seabed depth on the day, or the charted depth?
Just planning what flavour of nitrox to get, I'm assuming 32 is ok?

Tom, the most I've ever had on the Hermes on the 4hrs after (haven't got my tide tables with me) is 31m so max 32m is Ok, and it stands up to about 22-23m, but most of the really interesting stuff is a bit lower as it's on its side/partially upside down ( I think it's twisted a bit). I'm assuming you will be on that tide if you are going that direction.

Thanks Alan, just what I needed to know. Now, next question, where are the brass bits
