Wreck dive - Kincorth

Had a really good dive this Sunday, on the rib (first dive) was Woody, Jeremy, Wojciech, Phil and myself. Launched off Traeth Bychan and went to the wreck of the Kincorth. Its the wreck of a steam trawler which has been broken into two, unfortunately all hands were lost when she sank in 1941. We dived the stern section, this was my first deep wreck dive in the UK, although it was very dark, with the help of Jeremys torch, I was able to see the nice anenomes and lots of fish! Details of the wreck are all written up in the Underwater Guide to North Wales Vol 2. We retured to shore and picked up Carol who then went to dive with Phil and Wojciech in the shallower sheltered waters between Treath Bychan and Red Warf Bay. The weather was fab too which made the day even more enjoyable.

Great to meet everyone!

Hi GSAC

As a new member, just to say it's been a pleasure meeting you all so far, and the diving has been a laugh....plus I'm learning so much. Thanks, Kevin, for introducing me to the club! So far, 17 dives under my belt. Learnt PADI Open Water in Aliwhal Shoals, SA, which, although it sounds great, was like being in a washing machine once we went into the ocean (beautiful, although didn't see as much as I'd like to have, as it wasn't exactly a leisurely experience!!)....not sure how I managed it at 60, and remember sitting in the RIB thinking, 'what exactly am I doing here ?'after a particularly fraught dive....perseverance and pride won out.

Haven't got much to share re diving yet, as I haven't done much!
But given the opportunity, thought I'd post one of my favourite photos, even if not about diving, it's about inventiveness!!
