‘Did you see the concave brass transverse bulkhead just forward of the conning tower? That’s bent from a blast forward of it.’

‘Did you see the 6-inch guns impaled upright into the seabed? There’s all sorts of things in a large debris field that have fallen off the ship as she capsized out to the east – there’s nothing on the seabed to the west.’

And so, the chatter went on as we sipped our tea – still in our full rigs. But very soon our initial thoughts and impressions had to stop, as other divers started to pop up to the surface after completing their own deco.

Over at the trapeze, other divers were now beginning to surface, slowly starting to fin away and wait for their turn to be picked up.

As other divers came up the diver lift and heavily clomped down on the dive deck benches, the level of buzz and excitement escalated. Everyone was amazed at what they had just seen – each had spotted something unique.
