Operation Deadlight Expedition 2001

DAY FIVE: - 18th July 2001

Target: No target due to gales
Depth: Weather and sea conditions:
Sunny - 7E - Unknown underwater visibility

Diving report:
Gales prevented us leaving Portrush harbour for most of the day.

Comments:
We intend to move to Ballycastle tonight. In the event that the winds continue as they are, we will be able to dive on the wreck of U-33, which is in the entrance Clyde. Although not a Deadlight wreck, she has an interesting history in the tale of the cracking of Enigma. Also, she is a rare Type VIIA, equipped with the 88mm deck-gun.

If the winds drop, we will be able also to reach the site of U-861.

Weather intervenes on all diving expeditions. It is time to be philosophical and wait for the weather to change.
