Favourite UK wrecks
As I had nothing better to do I counted up the number of different UK wrecks that I have dived. The total came to 153.

Then I thought about picking out the 10 best, that was a difficult job but here they are listed in alphabetic order, as I found it difficult to rate them.

Bell Virtue
Birgitte
Boadiccea
Eastpoint
Edam
Kilmaho
Murree
Pomella
Rotorua
Victoria

I realise that mine won't be on many people's top 10, but how about listing your own top 10, or less. But keep it to wrecks around the UK coast.

I haven't done any that you mentioned

Defo the Hispania, but don't forget the Shuna, it's a good fun dive and easy because there's no tide.

The cruisers in Scapa are great as are some of the blockships, but the most enjoyable time I've had on a wreck was on the Maine. Perfect depth for an hour of rummaging around with less than 15 min of deco.

The James Barrie in great viz last summer was a hoot, but the cabaret made it more enjoyable: DIR boys with scooters narked off their tits
