Monday Simon
Our missing team member arrived on the ferry bringing the sunshine with her so we set off back to the GWLADMENA. Managed to have a swimthrough on the bows this time,chain and cable piled around lighted by gaps in hull. Then up through deckhatch.
Diving another klondiker factory ship, the PIONERSK. On the swim for the shot my mask fell apart, start again. Down onto a kelpy platform. Saw an inviting split leading into an engine room. Turned around to check my buddy but he was gone. Backed out to find him and a fin fell off, reached to put it on and the other fell off too! After the bubbles had gone and silt settled and my fins restored I still couldn’t see my buddy. Started ascending and met him coming down, he’d had a regulator problem and surfaced to sort it. I’m glad all this happened in relatively shallow water and early in the dive. Wreckage scattered over a wide area, noticable were the gold coloured lids for tinned fish.
