This was a day trip to Wittering to dive with Wittering Divers on Big Blue. I got up at 3am and got home at 11:30pm, stopping on the way back for a very strong coffee!

Took big blue rib out to T-Pot; 30 min, I sat at the front. Skipper Mark put shot down. We descended, shot slightly off the wreck, swam with it to our right mainly. Farily broken up, apparantly hit by a freighter on the bottom. Saw the conga eel that lives in one of the tubes. Headed round to the stern (not always clear where the wreck was) ascended from near the propeller. Quite a strong current so hard to stay still to do DSMB. Got to top but they couldn't get shot up. Sent one diver back down to get it. He took ages and while we were waiting we heard a Tonbridge BSAC diver had been brought up unconsious and not breathing. They sent out a helicopter. 30mins back for lunch and a refil.

35 mins in different direction off to the mulberry harbour. Descended down the shot and started following the chain to the landing craft. Half way there Chris realised and we went back to the main wreck. Went around anti-clockwise. Lots of very sharp metal poles and sheets of concrete forming artificial reef. Lots of fish, lobster, wrass etc. Nice looking through the wreck and seeing all the fish underneath. Came back to shot and surfaced. Back at the shore, tide was out so had to jump in and wade with full kit back up the beach. Very tiering!
