Don't be shy in making suggestions for a Troop Gig once you've found one (or more!) you like.

Nope, The Rondo is at number 5 and it's p*sh. The Hispania is at number 24 and it's the mutts nuts.

Hi
There is little, if nothing left of the FORFARSHIRE, although the area makes an excellent drift dive.
The ABESSINA, as it is correctly called, is also a very poor wreck, but the dive is excellent, with lots of first class scenery and heaps life around and very strong tides. I don't know where Kendall picked them from???

Cheers Ron

the totne's castle in plymouth, 44m and triff to say the least and on my last visit absolutely writhing in conger.
failing that it would have to be LST507 at slapton sand's or the empress of india at 50m ish if i recall correctly.

Until I dived the "Lucy" I considered the Hispania the best intact wreck. For a good old rummage around I prefer the Aurania.:smile:

[Phil Ennis]

I must agree with Parahandy, the 'Lucy' is an excellent dive in fact had three brilliant days in the area.

I was talking (e-mailing) with a Canadian diver recently who told me that many of their wrecks (in the Great lakes), including some dating back to the Napoleonic era are intact, including their contents (swords etc) as there is a strict "look, don't touch" ethos in force over there, bit different from over here eh?

The Moldavia is at No 3 and it is a top class wreck. Dived it twice this year and had 15m viz in Jan and 10 today. In the high seasion I have herd that 30m viz is not uncommon.
Fish aplenty, scarey big crabs, very scarey big Ling and Conga and over 1000 portholes what more could you ask.

Pete found a role top bath today??? Mmmmmm big lift bag

Defiant is a great boat out of Littlehampton fast and comfortable, Microwave and a lift too. Any one who wants to have a crack at it in the summer let me know and I will sort it if we can put together a group of 10 -12 divers.

All the best

The Rondo is rubbish, I think the attraction is the crowds of daftydivers coming up for their once a year 50m dive. The wreck itself is pitiful.
