Map Previous Next England dive map England dive listFun dive on full Aquanauts boat with Nigel (submariner) & Simon buddies. In first but should have gone down bow shot as strong current uses air as we swim to wreck & drop to bottom to avoid current. Along starboard at 27m - see a John Dory, large pollack, red mullet, an edible crab, plumose anemonies (closed), dead mens fingers, jewel anemones. Also bright orange with purple tentacles anemone: sag. elegans! Reach stern still at 27m, low on air. Return along port side rising slowly & reach bridge on 50 bar. Nigel deploys SMB but can't maintain 5m due to current - eventually surface before 3 min with 30 bar remaining! Still need time to practice SMB. But a good Scylla dive!
