Dive 4 - James Eagan Layne

What would a Plymouth weekend be without a dive on the James Eagan Layne.  For a couple of our newly trained divers this was their first dive on a 'big wreck' or at least one that looked like a ship and luckily their regulators stayed in their mouths as they gaped at the huge hull of this much loved wreck.  Those of us 'old hands' were able to see the way the wreck is gradually deteriorating and a number of holes had appeared in the side that hadn't been there before.  However, it was still a great dive to swim along the hull, covered with dead men's fingers and then drift back through the holds looking up at the wreck silhouetted against the light.
