Thistlegorm

Down to the explosion and out to the port side locomotive. Some current but not too bad. Into holds again and saw more of the cargo, including the wellies, and on the way out Lysander wings, and Beaufighter/Beaufort cowlings, coils of cable, rifles etc,..

Plenty of wildlife, batfish, lionfish, crocodilefish, cornetfish, yellow spotted boxfish and a blue spotted stingray. Also some delicate transparent jellyfish.

Went around fore-decks, rail-tanks. Saw Chris and Debs. Lots of divers later arrived in groups from the other liveaboards. [9 min @ 6m].

Current a lot stronger on the second dive. Went over starboard side to anchor chain and followed it, over reefy boulders and sandy patches, out to the anchor. On the starboard side we passed the second locomotive, and then veered back to the ship and up the side. Had a look round some more rooms and found the bathtub.
