Northeaster - wow, what a dive!

Following my begging for a space earlier this week................. Any spaces Sat 17th South Coast .......... Scubee very kindly offered a space.


Plan was to board Brighton Diver around 7am for a 7.45 leave to Dive the Northeaster. Typically I was early and arrived at 6:30. Loaded my kit onto the boat and tested it.

Now went hunter gathering for drinks, where I found Scubee and Tim in McD's.

Back on the boat and Dan arrives, followed by Paul (Skipper). Turns out that there is only 4 divers on the trip today - woo hoo, no worries about Juz spreading out and taking up loads of room!!

Flat calm journey out, generally taking the mick out of each other. As Dan and I were on CCR, we dropped in together and down the shot to find it mid-brightness with around 5-6m Viz, looks like this is going to be a 'good-un'.

The wreck is upright on the sand at 56m, standing around 10m proud. The superstructure has collapsed, but still a stunning dive, and one that I'd never heard of before.

56m Max depth, with most of the BT 47-50m and a run time of 82 mins.

Great people, on a good boat, with a great skipper for a fab dive - a very good day, and I thank Scubee for letting me tag along and Dan for dropping in with me.

it was great to finally meet you, Juz

With just the four of us on the boat, we had so much space it was difficult to find where I had put everything! It is a shame others couldn't come along.

Tim and i had spent ages planning this dive. It was my first post qualification trimix dive , and the deepest sea dive this year. i had been worried about it - not to the point of not wanting to do it, but in case i screwed up. I shouldn't have been worried.

We had planned to 50m, knowing that it was supposed to be 52 to the bed. The wreck is intactish, covered in life and my word... a deep dive and I can remember the flavolina, the lobsters, everything.

I stopped at 48.6, which was within plan, so brownie points for that, and, i suspect more by luck than judgment, we also found the shot line, right on the time we had agreed to ascend. As it was still quite slack, we took the easy option, and deployed the DSMB at 15, rather than the bottom.

Anyway, we had an excellent dive, a textbook ascent, surfacing at 69 minutes. Thanks, Tim

So... now i am a trimix diver... whoo hoo

Sounds like a great dive, Juz

My annual Fecamp trip took place last Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday so it's great we're all getting our dives in at the moment.

Good vis and lots of room. Heaven
