Duck Hunters at Eastcliffe Hall Entry Pt

[DeepBound]

Anyone shore diving the Eastcliffe Hall, remember that duck hunting season is open now. The entry point is used by duck hunters and you'll have to dodge pellets if you enter there! I'd recommend looking for hunters before going in!

Did you find the wreck? Where did you enter in from and how long did it take you?

I'd recommend you approach this as a boat dive.

Why? Lots of sucessfull dives have been done on it from shore.

Hi David,

While it is possible to shore dive the ECH, with or without a scooter, it requires advanced training, technical gear, and lots of experience. Unlike some people who think it is fitting to advertise how 'easy' it is and how everyone does it all the time, on Scubaboard, I do not agree. To do this dive safely from shore without scooters requires at least 500cf of gas for it to be done safely, which requires a lot of experience with carrying multiple stages. It is also a real overhead dive, due to the illegality of surfacing in the shipping channel, and the impossibility of surfacing when the freighters are overhead.

Sincerely,
Neil

So we get crapped on for telling people how we do dives, and we get crapped on if we don't. Just can't win.
