The Segontium

During our Dive Planning meeting on Thursday night, the possibilities of diving the Segontium were discussed. This reminded me of the first times we dived it. We went out on a trawler with a fisherman who had mysteriously lost nets somewhere and tried to pull them up but only succeeded in nearly pulling his boat under. Don and Dave H dived (into the mouth of the net!! aaarrrrggghhhhhh!!!!!), also Andy B, Frank and Graham Scouse were there. It was a rolly day:

Don clings on!

Graham and Frank relax amongst the nets

So abit later (or it might have been before the trawler)

we found it in our boat and had a lovely dive: good vis, flat calm, found slack, big lobsters etc. but sadly Jeremenemenemeny was not there so we drew our impressions of the wreck on a paper napkin in the pub to show him what he had missed:

We dived it another time when Jeremenemeny was back on one of those days when you couldn't tell where the sea ended and the sky began:

On this occassion (or was it another one?) Dave and I missed the wreck and I remember swimming along a flat murky bottom in an increasing tide, not knowing where we were in relation to the wreck and not daring to surface in case we were swept into the nets!! Happy days!!
