Just feeding on from one of Stevie Walker's earlier comments about going on a 'wreck hunt' and getting marks, hits and finding a new wreck, I've just had an idea, or at least what might pass for it.
Now this may be perceived, as our Jockanese (or, more precisely, our Glasga) contingent might have it as "Sparked out o'wur nut", but can any one make any suggestions (good or bad and based on either 1st-hand experience, hearsay or conjecture) about YD buying its own wreck to dive?
Criteria:
* What would it cost to purchase the beast?
* Where should it reside?
* Does the above matter?
* What are the Lloyds List/Admiralty/MCA/RoW angles that might need covering?
* How deep should it be?
* RIB-able or hard-boat-able distance?
* How fast do you do the Hundred Metres?
* What colour shoud the wreck be?
* Will it go with my wing/dry-bag combo?
* Wreck: Bungied or non-bungied?
* Am I best donning a blind-fold and listening to my 'Dr Hook' albums back-to-back instead?
OK, so I made the last few up
Is this an idea that can fly? Or am I so far off base that I'm bombing 'Tie Rack' instead of Iraq?
Please fill your boots and hold-forth on your knowledge, experience and opinions. Get in amongst it people.
If it can be done at a resonable cost and 'moderate' logistics, then it's something I think we should consider. If not, hey, we've lost nothing, right?
Dive safe - all.
