Well the others are still out on the boat but I'm back home now after another good day on and under the open water.
After reading the trip reports for the past few days I was a little pessimistic about the viz for todays and unfortunately I was right.
Viz varied from 50cm to 5cm at times on the Loanda, but despite this Jules and I managed to find some bits of glass and some blue beads we also came across a lobster prancing around in the open. I don;t know who was more surprised - us or him. Jules let out a "ooh" of surprise that was audible even to me and we looked at the lobby for a couple of secs, he looked at us, before he decided that discretion was the better part of valour and buggered off into a hole sharpish.
I pootled around the wreck a bit more and had a hard-stopping moment when I went inside without meaning to. Although it was only about a metre or two inside it was a but disconcerting to feel metal all around me but I turned around and came out without incident and then came up.
Back on shore the pub was closed so we went to a champion cafe for a great breakfast and a bit of dive talk and gossip.
The others stayed on for another dive, but I'm getting food cooked for me tonight so I reluctantly headed up the M20.
Cheers to all involved, especially Andy.
