Lord Jim again

[MarkH]

After 6 weeks in Halifax, I'm finally back to West Coast diving. I tried for the Lord Jim wreck in Mill Bay hoping for some half-decent, "almost winter" vis. Unfortunately, vis was 10 feet or less. I was trying out a wide-angle lens on my old Nikonos, but the strobe was way too bright and blasted most of the pictures beyond recognition. Here are the few that are recognizable:

Alabaster nudibranch on hull.

Tiny perch in front of prop.

Perch swimming by sofa.

This radio handset was hanging out of the wheelhouse window.

Capstain on bow.

Bollard

Just be gentle. It looks like divers are already starting to rip it apart.

I have dove this wreck numerous times and I wanted to pass on a word of caution. Some areas of the boat seem inviting for penetration but be aware that it is a wooden structure and it is quite fragile... be careful..

Having said that.... It is a great dive so have fun!!

Cheers

Thanks again for all the info guys, found the wreck without any problems yesterday. Vis could've been a little better, but all in all a decent dive......
