The forecast looked promising after several windy weekends so 4 divers met up at Sea Palling to see what the conditions offshore were like.

• Divers: Hayden, Nick
• Max Depth: 22.5 metres
• Dive Time: 27
• Water temperature: 15 degrees C
• Viz: 2 metres
• Dive Details: We planned to dive the Nubia around 7km North East of sea palling. On arrival we searched around for the wreck as we had not visited the wreck before, we had rough coordinates but we found nothing but a flat seabed. After spending 20-30 minutes searching we decided to go to our backup site which was the SS Clansman an unknown wooden wreck, again we had not visited this wreck and only had rough coordinates. After searching around we found quite a large mound that we thought was the wreck but not overly confident. Despite the doubts about it the slack tide had passed so we decided to dive it anyway. On our descent we found that the mound on the sonar was a large boulder field which was covered in life, sponges, crabs hydroids anemones it was really quite pretty! The tide was running slightly so put up our DSMB and drifted slowly around before coming back up and getting picked up. Jane and Simon went in after us when the tide was running further and went for a nice drift. On reflection on the chart there was a pipeline 200-300m away that was probably what we dived.
