There are 4 spaces left on Friday 30 May, diving out of Eyemouth on Marine Quest.  We will be diving the wreck of HMS Pathfinder, which was the first ship ever to be sunk by a torpedo, it was sunk on the 5 September 1914 by the U21 and lies in 65m of water off St Abbs head. The Torpedo hit the main magazine and the ship exploded and sank killing 259 men, there were only 11 survivors.
Never dived the wreck myself but people I have spoke to who have dived it say it's a very interesting dive.
If anyones interested in going ring me Andy boyle on 01706 669220
