A time long ago, when Guernsey harbours used to allow the Historical Diving Society to hold hard hat try dives in St Peter Port harbour. Shame we are missing 2 of the people in this video, including Percy Tippett and Mick Peters. Lost not but forgotten.

Out of Grande Harve Bay on Guernsey’s West Coast. First was a dive on the lost Nord, sunk in the 1870’s, dived twice in the 1970’s and lost again till now. Second dive was on the mysterious Anchor graveyard, over 50 anchors lying in the shape of a ship/ barge but with no records to explain what it is? Third dive on the SS Brisies. Sunk in 1937 and now lying well smashed up in 20m.

      Going down you equalize the pressure in your ears and coming up you ascend slowly and do deco stops so that the gas in your blood gets out safely.

      ​@stephenadams9767 I can assure you it was not an insurance job. I was crew on this boat when she sank and it was the most terrifying thing I've experienced so have some consideration before being a keyboard warrior. So many people have fished over it, looks like trawls and foot ropes are wrapped around it but when it sank there was nothing wrapped around the Derrick. The Derricks where out and towing at the time so we couldn't have tied it up if gear out. She's been on the seabed for over 10years now. Think before you assume!! We were lucky to all survive after hours in the life raft waiting but so many don't make it home!
