The Kittiwake was Damaged by a Storm

[drrich2]

I guess this is the kind of shot we won't be getting anymore? That's Paul, an Aggressor employee who was on the Cayman Aggressor IV & got his OW cert. the week I was on; I snapped this shot. Glad the wheel is still there; will miss the framing option.

I dove the Kittiwake last Thursday with Cayman Divers/Divers Down as a cruise excursion. They told us then that the storm removed the wheelhouse.
The wheel is still there, and the crew that cleaned the area up did a great job.
That was my first time on it- or on any wreck, and I really appreciate the work put into it.

Pepperbelly - many thanks for that, I wrote a blog on it which can be seen here if you're interested The Changing Face of the Kittiwake | Cayman Islands Diving | iDive Blog

Thanks Dish, there are still some bits and pieces that need lifting out like one of the mirrors in the bathroom that got ripped off and a few small panels in the lower decks but we'll get those on the next routine maintenance visit
