Dives might have to change, dependant on the weather. We will fit in an optional dive on the Friday at Vobster. Distance to B&B 300miles, 4.50-5.00hrs trip.
James Egan Layne:
James Eagan Layne is a massive wreck with many things to see. The skipper is likely to drop us off on the bow of the James Eagan Layne, as there is a buoy attached to it. You can easily descend down the line and will hit the top of the bow between 6m and 8m depth. You can drop into any of the holds from the top if you wish to have a quick look around – things to find are pickaxe handles, wheels for tractors and winch gear.
Glen Strathallen
The wreck is in 16m of water between some reef ledges. All that is left of her now is her boiler which is home to Conger, Bib, Wrasse and Pollack, even Octopus. You can just about follow the outline of the hull by tracing the ribs and debris. Do not however let this put you off the dive. For novices and as a shakedown dive it is excellent. The visibility is usually very good, and currents present no problems.
