HMS Scylla

Fine weather (after a dull start) with light NW winds and very slight sea - all good for our day's diving out of Plymouth. Bryan and Terry, Adrian and Jake, Dave B and me were on the first wave. Chris and Debbie boathandled. Vis was ok (just a bit snotty) 4 metres or so. Minimal current. Lots of other divers on it though, two hardboats arrived about the same time as us.

Dave and I went in and had a good dive; stopped at the bow briefly, then around the decks, along to the hanger and back, looking in some of the holes and hatches, poking around generally. There were lots of anemones and starfish, bass, pollack, wrasse, and a tompot blenny.

In the afternoon Adrian and I boathandled taking Chris and Debbie, and Geoff M and Sara out to the Scylla; and they all had good dives I think. Most of the other boats were now on the James Eagan Layne, the sun had come out and it was quite nice. I didn't ram any other vessels or maim anyone, so that was nice as well.
