The Clipper ship Smyrna

After several previous attempts, I managed to finally dive the fabulous clipper ship Smyrna in August. Once a beautful ship she now lies in 53-57 metres of water 20 miles south of the Isle of Wight in England. I dived with Dave Wendes of Wight Spirit Charters. As you can see the great viz found in the channel this year has continued.



Divers at the bow:

Fort Yale

I spent last Saturday on the wreck of the Fort Yale and an unexpectedly great dive it was. This 7000 ton Liberty ship was torpedoed in 1944 and now lies in 47 metres of water near the Isle of Wight.
