Posted by Mark Gilmour in : UK diving, Wreck Diving , trackback15th & 16th July 2005. The YD Stock 3 South Gig Selsey.
This one I was looking forward to, as it was the first opportunity for me to dive on a submarine. I had tried too in Weymouth earlier in the year on M2 but things did not go to plan. This weekend was great, we had great weather, fantastic visibility and great wrecks. Diving from Dive Eclipse & Taurus from Dover. We dived on U90, HMS Sapper, Shirala, & Louis. Trip reports from YD are here

Hopefully also a couple of my pictures will feature in Ron Youngs new book on U-boats. Kinda of satisfying when I am such an amateur photographer. […]
