Saturday 9.30am

Sunday 9.00am

Monday 8.30am


Sunday is looking like Persier/ Elk combo is most attractive,

the Maine is an option but would involve 2.5 hour steam out with a wait to make sure of slack, apparently around Bolt Head on Neap tides it can be a while. In water time would be around 12.30-1.45pm. This would mean a second dive would likely be a drift dive sometime late afternoon.....
So I leave that for you all to consider and probably a final decision will be on the boat on Saturday.

Personally I'd rather 2 wrecks, particularly as Sat and Mon are more "scenic" so I am more than happy with Persier/Elk

Divernet | THE HMS ELK - 72

Divernet | Wreck tour: 52, The Persier

Has anyone got a picture of the Elk? (as in underwater!)

Think I'll have to get Old man taylor on the coffee or he will be grumpy when he gets on board

Seems like a long run to get there, it's only 15/16 miles.

Don't worry Lloyd you won't need a picture of it, as you will soon know every inch of it after going round it 3 times before coming up. (No I am not exaggerating)
