If Mich is reading ... get inland. Far, far inland. If / when SS Richard Montgomery does decide to go "pop" the wave she'll create is likely to flood the Netherlands

Not wishing to sound like too much of a scaredy-cat here but I believe that operates under the heading of "sod that" (see my earlier post on lucky white heather )

Not far to travel too, as it's in the Thames estuary, and believe it or not it has been dived:

Originally posted by Menelaus View PostI've got three wreck sites I want to go to:
- Truuk (trying to get there this autumn)
- Bikini (see above - in Micronesia anyway, why not kill two birds with the same stone)
- HMS DASHER (D37)
Dasher's a MUCH bigger undertaking; she's in 170m of water (so a very very very very very very very technical dive) and is also a protected site, meaning a dive would have to get permission from CWGC before being even planned
Not far to travel too, as it's in the Thames estuary, and believe it or not it has been dived:
The wreck site has been surveyed regularly since 1965 to determine the stability of the structure, with the most recent diver survey being completed in 2003.
