Hope you enjoy my video of a recent dive on the wreck of the famous 'mystery' Q-ship, HMS Stock Force which now lies in 60m to the SE of Plymouth. For years local divers had searched for the wreck and the discovery featured on an episode of Deep Wreck Mysteries

The story of the sinking is incredible and bravery of the crew was recognised by the award of Britain's highest gallantry medal, the Victoria Cross, to the skipper Lt Harold Auten RNR. It was even made into a film in the 1920s which starred many of the crew!

I was very privileged to be on the dive in 2021 when the bell was recovered.
