What a find!!.
This Teric was lost after a hungry conger went rouge after being set free from a ghost pot.
Not filled with much hope we headed out to see if we could get lucky……..and we did. Great to get this back to its owner and had a nice dive as well. Huge thanks to Sean for coming out this evening and Fin for some fine skippering.

Ss Peer Gynt (40m) and local wreck Siracusa (30m) for a second dive out of Newquay.
Great viz and an awesome group made it a day to remember for all.
One of my personal favourites the wreck of the Peer Gynt has it all, a lovely gun, a round donkey boiler for the deck crane that you don’t see anywhere else, boxes of ammunition and a good sized prop that’s in remarkably good condition. Sat at a respectable 40m you can have a decent run time and really see a good portion of this wreck.
Second dive on our local wreck the Siracusa did not disappoint, great viz helps of course but what really made this one, well for me at least was the tale of a rouge conger barging its way past one of the divers trying to release it from a ghost pot, I think he may need a fresh under suit. Obviously there was no mention of it as he rode the lift back onto the full boat 🤠.

A great day out of Newquay with huge improvement in last week’s viz.
We took a steam west to an unknown which turned out to be a red herring but not phased and in beautiful surface conditions we made double time to a well known favourite the SsPetersham. Neaps made things easy, snotty dropping through the mid 30’s but an ok ish 5m considering what we expected. Ideal to wet the whistle for an awesome 🙏🤞diving season ahead for us all.

A great video from Gary showing the great history behind Bottallack mine.
A fantastic dive into the depths of this one with some of the best visibility we have had in a mine.

On April 18, 1863, one of Cornwall’s most infamous mining disasters struck Botallack Mine, a legendary site celebrated for its undersea tunnels and dramatic ...

She’s in and straight out on a high speed run around the bay to make sure all works as expected. I’m pleased to say that the hard work has paid off and she is almost ready for divers. We just need this easterly breeze to ease back a little now 🫣🙏🤞.
