Ah well. That leaves two sounds unexplained rather than only one. So much
for my ability to guess.

Was your boat anchored to the wreck? I've heard ropes groaning quite loudly
when rubbed against the wreck by a current or surge.

Anchored? This is the UK, the only place i've ever seen someone anchor a
boat to a wreck is in Portland Harbour. I mean, nobody does that here
surely!?

Anyway, it was blowing a force 5 with heavy swell, the fact that we
don't anchor up in this country is one of the reasons we go diving
regularly in alot worse conditions than the Yanks or the Oz'ies would
ever do... ;)

Could be the shot line mind, there was swell even at 30m during the dive.

Behave! I was only in a couple of meters when I heard it :)

Now let's gets the facts straight here, all I was asked to do was keep
my deco on this dive to a maximum of 5 minutes, absolutely no mention
was made as to my potential run time.

I will hopefully get my trip report done soon, just to get my version of
things on record. And of course to stop Huw inferring that I did an
excessive amount of deco on the first day. I claim that it was all in
the interest of additional underwater research, excessive deco me??????

It wasn't the excessive amount of deco you did, Steve, we are very glad you
did all the deco you needed to do. It was the excessive bottom time that
required all that deco we were commenting on.

Cheers,
Huw

Yes, just how many complete laps of the Landrail did you do?
