HMS Pathfinder, Firth of Forth
11 August 2011
Just back from a weekend down at Eyemouth diving with Marinequest's excellent set up. Their new boat is a fantastic dive platform. Managed to dive a very famous ship, HMS Pathfinder - famous as she has the unlucky distinction of being the first HMS sunk by torpedo from a U-boat in WWI. She lies in about 68metres of water in the Firth of Forth. On the way down the line it was crystal clear down to about 40 metres. After that the vis got progressively siltier until on the bottom at 68msw it was a poor 5-10 feet at best. Nevertheless, we managed a fine tour of her on our underwater scooters. Lots of artefacts, guns and shells strewn about. 78 minute Run Time.
