Bernard, Simon and I met up this morning for a dive on the Alastair. It was quite busy when we arrived but by the time we entered the water all of the other divers had left. We pretty much all done our own thing and dived independently on the wreck. Vis was pretty good for the Alastair, about 4-5 meters. Water temp was about 15C. Lots of life on the wreck, and the starboard side was covered in star fish. I spotted a big conger in the funnel. We got about 45 minutes on the wreck. Bernard was on his usual twin set, Simon had a 20Lt cylinder, I was on a 15Lt. There was a brutal current at the end of the dive when we came of the wreck. Great dive with great company.
