Great conditions once again this week for those that ventured out to do the graveyard dives. Flat seas, 30 meter viz & only a moderate current. Unfortunately some of our team members were dropped too far & down stream from the shot line to be able to swim, carrying 3 tanks each, against the current. Those of us on the line (almost) made a discussion to drop off & stay with our buddies. Although keeping the team together, this of course meant trying to find it by swimming around at 45 metres using our best educated guess as to the location of the wreck. Despite one non-believer, we did manage to locate the site, but not before locating debris field that I didn't even know existed, so that was pretty cool. Once on the site, albeit only for a few minutes we were able to cover the entire bow section which is most impressive part of the ship.
