My view is that the Rosalie Muller is in better condition because it is dived less....hand rails are intact for example, there is less bomb damage so more of a complete ship shape altho a careless dive guide has pulled the funnel over As a shipwreck, though, it isless interesting than the Thistlegorm....the cargo is only coal

I recently did a series of 3 dives on the Thistlegorm with no other dive boats, and at times no other divers other than my buddy, and the night time penetration was amongst the best dives I have ever done.....crowned with finding the turtle in Hold 1.......

its a cracking wreck dive, but it depends what you're after really (doesn't it always!)

i enjoyed the thistlegorm more, because its got more life on it, it's lighter so better for photo's, and shallower so you can get more time on her... can't wait to do a few hours on it next year when (of) i've got a yellow box to play with!

Ah... could be a problem matching that description We see an occasional RIB but we more or less have the pick of any wreck to ourselves
