Reply to: STD anyone?

Yes. 5kt of it...

I would refer the honourable GAL to the answer I gave a few hours ago (e.g., "sod that")

This is where Diver logs on and posts:

"Is that still down there? I'll lift that bugger this weekend and flog it for scrap. Cheers for the tip. "

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

This is the one that's still packed full of unstable explosives?

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 )

Touche ...

sharp and pointy I can cope with.

explosives - somewhat less not

How about the SS Richard Montgomery

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

I'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

How about the SS Richard Montgomery

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.

Hmmm ... I'm very much a leisurely, recreational, embodiment of a jellyfish kind of diver ..... and not that good to boot ..... can't really see the fun swimming around something full of sharp, pointy bits that's going to stick you ...

1. Try not to get stuck on them
2. Fish love 'em
3. I've a friend who tiled his bathroom from tiles in the rear hold of MV BREDA

Hmmm .. only other place I know of is Zavora Beach, but it's more a marine life type of trip .... just the one wreck

Go wrecking, it's much more fun

Definitely can't dive there. The Yanks would be machine gunning the water before I'd been under 30 seconds!

Yes, but they wouldn't hit you if there were any small foreign children around.
HTH

[Menelaus]

Pearl Harbour perhaps?? I don't think you can dive there

Believe so, but I'm a wreck fiend (the sign of the skull and cross-spanners)

You should add a little known place called Roatan ... great reef diving
