Map Previous Next England dive map England dive listAt last first dive of the year. With buddy John, quite a strong steady current, down shot. At first no wreck, then found winch & hull fragments. Beautiful blue male cuckoo wrasse hiding under a plate, also tompot blenny inside a tube. Didn't see boiler this time. Very pleased with my buoyancy control on ascent - used BCD & very little air in dry suit. Fingers a bit cold, but an enjoyable dive. Also saw golfball sponges (2), azimella dissimilis, cushion stars, lots of spiny starfish, cotton spinners, poor cod, goldsinny, nice fan worm (bispira volutacornis), crater sponge (hemimycale columella) - lots, & a sea orange. And kelp.
