Cheers Ant.

My source was Divernet (here) which gives it as 26m (4th line down in the first paragraph).

Anyone else

I've stuck my name down on the subs bench - hopefully I'll be fully fit and back diving by then so if there's a space I'll be up for it.

Hasnt Tom actually dived it, seeing as it was he who raised the initial interest??

That's the lowest astronomical tide depth. When I've dived it on the low tide, it has been 28m general depth, with a scour on one side to 29m ish, and under the stern at the prop it'll be about 30m. The high tide would be about +3 or 4m on that as Ant P said.

Yeah, I had 31m on the wreck itself (don't think we went to the seabed). That was on a big high tide. Average depth on the wreck was 29; the proudest part (at the front) was 27m. If we're on a low tide, knock about 2-3m off those depths I guess.

Cheers mate. I *think* we're on a low tide (I called the skipper today and he's going to get back to me later) but a 10m tide (26m to 36m) surprised me a bit in the channel!

It would be nice if D'net put a bit more information about the depth of wrecks.

Just rang up to book on - the guy I spoke to (Dan?) didn't have the details and said to ring back this evening after 6 when Vernon would be around. Just in case anyone else was about to phone!

If Tom's been out to it he's bound to have ended up swimming around the Seabed in the general area of it

Sounds familiar. Janos I hope you are going to guarantee the viz on this or I shall bring some little plastic bags of wee to drop into your drysuit boots.
