St. Chamond (The Train Wreck) Home for this Tompot Blennie is a steam loco! Friday 2nd August - two fantastic dives, one on the Runnel stone, one on Seggy Rock and snorkels with a basking shark and a seal. How do we match that? "Well its low water slack at a 9am Monday lets try Dive St. Ives". One Phone call latter and we're booked in. Early start, 8 am we arrived at St.Ives peer and parked without a problem, off to the dive shop, sign the forms, pay the money and off we go! David dropped us onto the North side of the wreck, into a large shoal of Bib and 15m visibility! From there we headed south, over the prop. shaft to the first of the
steam engines with its resident butterfish and wrasse. The rest of the
dive was spent hopping between boilers and steam engines, constantly
surrounded by a myriad of marine life. What a dive! General info Depth 28m (low water slack)
