Favourite UK wrecks

[Scubee]

I liked the buccanneeeeer a lot when I dived it last year. I want to dive it on trimix so i can remember it.

The first tiem i dived the Tabarka, I loved it, the second time, i hated it. This year i will (hazel willing ) dive it a third time. Hopefully, I will like it again.

11.. oh well, can't count

[Snash]

In no particular order

1. Helena Faulbaums - near Oban

2. Hispania - Sound Of Mull

3. “The Biggun” – off Amble – never knew what she was called but a cracking wreck with lots of goodies

4. The Brummer – swimming from bow to well well past the bridge with no sign of daylight was a highlight of a Scapa trip many moons ago

5. Inverlane – Great blockship – again entire dive inside the wreck

6. “Not the Anna Bhan” Mull – on my stag week – never found her, but going down the line “bought the dummy” from the first lot down that they had found her. To come back up the line into a shower of scallop guts raining down on us, just poured salt into the wounds. However, never laughed so much on a dive.

7. The Nordhuk - off Skye

8. The Wallachia - Clyde – even if the beer did taste foul

9. St Chamond N. Cornwall – oooo trains! And also a sunfish at 30ms. First dive back after slipped disc op. There is a God and I thank her

10. ……. Being kept free, just in case one of the wrecks in the Moray Forth (especially The Verona) lives up to expectations – roll on May when we head up there for a long weekend

1. UC75 (North Sea). Just awesome.
2. Breda (Mull)
3. HMS Hood (Portland)
4. Hispania (Mull)
5. James Egan Layne (Plymouth)
6. Rondo (Mull)
7. Brummer (Scapa)
8. The Wreck of the Wreck of the Ora Verde (Grand Cayman)
9. Maine (Salcombe)
10. Countess of Earne (but only because it was my first ever night dive )

I still really like the M2 in Portland and the Countess of Erne has a huge number of memories especially of some less than impressive diving with Kanga last year.

Not done the Westminster... Waterford was the one we did out of Brighton right? Or the other way round? Cracking dive that was. Would like to add the James Egan and the Hood to that list.

That's right. Waterford was ace! There were scores of Tompots on it! I'd love to do that again! And yes... I'd add the James Egan Layne (slipped my mind). Sadly I've never had the chance to do the Hood

Well then Mr Jonesor, let's blow this joint and go dive her again!
You have a car and I have my fantastic charisma to keep you entertained.

You're part right at least. In any case, let's take this somewhere more private. Hijacking threads is probably a bad thing.
BTW I only have 3 spare weekends before Scapa
Isn't diving great!
