Last few spaces for the Ice Prince

Mark Chase · 4th March 2008, 10:23

There has been more than enough time for the priority divers to confirm so it open to any one now. It would be nice to fill the last couple of slots.

This ship sank in January 08. Latest information is its 60m max to the sea bed 47min to the top of the wreck which is beleived to be on its side. We will be diving out of Weymouth (England) It will be a return to deco station dive.

BBC report on sinking of Ice Prince.

A maritime accident blog with an entry on the Ice Prince.

Mark Chase · 8th April 2008, 14:34

Ice Prince dive on the 18th April is confirmed on Tango for a 06:15am ropes off.

Allow time to park as its a 10min walk to the long stay.

Ill try and confirm asap on the Thursday on hear and on YD but any one who wants my number just PM me.

TANGO of Weymouth

In water time will be 10:15am we have allowed an extra 30mins for shotting the wreck as its a new site for the skipper but we now have good marks.

We have permission to dive it from the coast guard but have been reminded of the salvage law.

Depth is expected to be 55-60m

Cost for the boat apx £550 divided equally by all booked divers.

Ill be sleeping on the boat there is space for all in the communal cabin. Microwave on the boat. Shower block on the quay. I will be down there for 9.00PM I am happy to open up the doors till 11pm but after that i want some sleep

Any questions let me know.

OK boys the long range forcast for Friday is pants.

At the momnet id say 60/40 for it beeing canned. The Ice prince is 3.5hours out and thats no fun in a 6.

So question, do we want to just get wet and do a close in wreck if its a 5+ or do we just can the whole day

I dont know Weymouth diving that much but i know the Solsett is only about an hour out.

Do we opt for the Solsett as a fall back dive or just forget it?

Does any one have a better idea?

Yes for Solsett No for just can it if its too bad to do the Prince.

1: Mark Chase Yes
2: Howard the Dude Yes
3: Janos Yes
4: Paul (The Duck)
5: Bottle Maker
6: ccr_ada
7: ccr_ada's m8
8: colinicky (with no buddy) Will be diving with me unless another buddy shows up
9: ccr_ada's m8 2
10: Jon Adams

Mark,

if the forecast is for SW winds then I doubt the Salcette is an option for you. You'd be better off looking to Weymouth Bay rather than Lyme Bay, if going out at all... Going round the bill in 5+ is no fun...
