π SSAC Club Dive β HMT Garmo Wreck π
Today, a group of 10 divers and 2 crew headed out aboard Freedom of the Sea to dive the HMT Garmo wreck, lying in 20 metres of water off the Yorkshire coast. The weather was kind to us, with good sea conditions making for an enjoyable day on the water.
Despite the big tides, we managed to find around 1β2 metres of visibility. While not the clearest conditions, it was certainly navigable, allowing divers to make their way around the wreck and explore features including the bow section, anchor, gun, boiler and engine. Members were also treated to some fantastic marine life sightings, including large crabs, lobsters, and many other amazing sea creatures.
A huge congratulations to Nick on completing his first sea dive and successfully achieving his 20m depth progression β a fantastic achievement and an important milestone in his diving journey. π
It was also great to have Robin onboard, helping out and learning more about boat handling and dive boat operations.
A special well done to our newly qualified Ocean Divers who was out today, for completing heir first wreck dive. Exploring a wreck for the first time is always a memorable experience, and it's fantastic to see our newest divers continuing to build their skills and confidence.
A great day of diving, training, and teamwork. Thanks to everyone who helped make the day a success both above and below the surface!
