Dive The Scylla

[Paul Beal]

Where is everyone staying? Lou, Jen and I are in Premier lodge - which I think is towards the Hoe somewhere.

Are people in Plymouth on the monday night, if so how about meeting in a pub for a couple of pints of.... lemonade?

<font color='#000080'>Tim, Kate and I will be in Plymouth Monday night, providing Tim can make it. If he comes we'll be at a Holiday Inn (he gets it for free), otherwise it will be Travelodge for us.

Give me a call on Monday and we can arrange to get together.

We are going to be setting off at about 9.00 to 9.30am on Tuesday from the Mount Battern centre, which I'm told is where Deep Blue Diving is. Never been there myself. If you want to look it up on Streetmap or similar the post code is PL9 9SJ.

We're hoping not to return for the surface interval so air for two dives is required. If you need to hire a cylinder they are available from Deep Blue who will be open from 8.00am. No need to reserve them, I'm told.

A mobile number for Pete, the skipper, is 07778 494274, if you have any problems getting there.

Mark,

All 3 of us are on twins (me 12s, Lou and Jen 10s) so hopefully we will not need to take second tanks - unless we are planning something pretty serious for the first dive.

Mountbatten is dead easy to find - head towards Plymstock and keep going until you nearly drop off the end! I can dig some directions out if necessary, but as I remember it is well signed.

There is a car park nearby, not sure if Deep blue customers can use the main Mountbatten car park - when we were with mountbatten dive centre last year we used the free one at the end of the road. Deep blue is run from a smallish garage unit within the mountbatten complex (behind locked gates if I remember correctly).

I will PM you my mobile no.

[Paul Beal]

Have they moved to as far along the hangers as Roger and Susan Webber used to have their shop?

<font color='#728FCE'>Does anybody know what the max depth is on her?

[Adrian Kelland]

About 24m IIRC Doc, and a on a Neap tide too.

[Jen S]

<font color='#8D38C9'>Chart datum is about 22m.

Tuesday 13th, HW is 4.3m, LW 2.1m, so depth on Tuesday will be between 24.1-26.3m to the seabed.

Wednesday 14th, HW is 4.5m, LW 2.1m, so max depth Wednesday will be between 24.1m-26.5m to the seabed.

<font color='#728FCE'>Cheers chaps, can do this on a sensible mix then!!

[Reeve]

<font color='#000F22'>Mark, will see you all Monday morning at the MountBatten Centre, if that's where we're meeting. Not sure where I'll be staying yet. I'll figure that out on Monday, but have one or 2 no's.

Will be bringing twins 12's 32% mix &amp; stage if were doing a long run time? No buddy as such offers?

Have dived the local wrecks before, but the Scylla will be new to us all. Does anyone have a plan layout of the wreck to oriantate ourselves before the dive?
