Weymouth dive trip!
An excellent weekend of diving in Weymouth. Three very different wrecks were explored (the St Dunstun an early twentieth century dredger, Aeloian Sky a modern freighter and the Black Hawk a very broken up liberty ship) as well as a lovely drift dive with dozens of scallops. We had clear vis and on the second day, a warm sun and very calm seas. There were congers, huge lobsters and crabs, dogfish, some big colourful wrasse (ballan and cuckoo -- with the male cuckoo in their breeding colours), huge shoals of pout and pollack and even a ray -- in fact all three wrecks were teeming with life. Weymouth now has rather fewer scallops as a result of our efforts. The Dive Time was (as ever) a brilliant boat to dive from especially for their famous soups:
