Portland Harbour May 25
The Landing Craft and Bombardon Unit in morning.

6 divers, 1 boat; viz was the usual for PH, not special, about 1 to 2 m, but the sea was calm and weather sunny.
Plymouth May 3, 4 and 5
Saturday 3 May
Scylla, very rough sea but OK on the wreck, viz about 2 m, lots of growth on the hull sides which has developed in such a short time.
Sunday 4 May
Meustone Ledges, sea was much flatter but had a long wavelength swell which flowed up and nearly over the Meustone in a very spectacular way; in the water it was like being in a washing machine (I imagine !) but a useul experience as they say.
We didn't see much except a lot of kelp being flattened in one direction and then in the other, while we were propelled over it and back !
Monday 5 May
Scylla er Egan Layne !
Sea still had a swell but not so much as yesterday. However this meant it was not easy to see all of the shot buoys at once. The first dive pair went down a shot that said "stern" which we thought was the Scylla. When they were down, the buoy turned round to reveal the words "Egan Layne" ! They had a very gloomy dive having unexpectedly descended into a hold, didn't stay very long and came back up, meeting the second pair on their way down, at least they knew where they were!
