25 May 1980 | Seacliffs | North Berwick | Forth | Scotland | 9 | 37 | 37 | Iain Hosking, Lorna Miller, Robin Gray | Looking for lobsters. Found several large ones but couldn't get them out because horizontal crevices went back too far. Visibility fantastic - 30 feet or more. Light sand on bottom made it brighter. Used 90 ats. | Steel 60, own dv, ABLJ 6 (somewhat buoyant - try another 2lbs weight) | |||

4 Jul 1983 | Kronprinz Wilhelm | Scapa Flow | Orkney | Scotland | 34 | 20 | 30 | Iain Hosking, Robin Gray | Had a day off for sinuses to recover, and modified Draeger valve with a bit of rubber, so everything now OK. Down shot line to hull side, quick look around engine room area, but no brass telegraphs so over to deck side and saw 6 inch guns and other bits. Good blast back to Stromness in new boat. Sea rough. | twin 60s, extra 4lbs weight |
