SS Undola 27-12-08

It was a calm but eerily foggy morning that we headed
out from Wally's wharf to dive the Undola. With new radios and GPS
and bottom finder we had lots of new toys to work out. At the
wreck site we dropped anchor and it landed 30m from our mark. But
in the right direction, the anchor was sitting beside the forward winch
and just above a very large wobbie. The wobbie rested there for a
few mins while we took pics then stirred and swam aound the front of the
wreck and disappeared under the port side. The viz was fantastic,
clearest we've had it in a long time. But very cold, 16C and me
with no undergarment or hood. It didn't feel cold though. We
swam towards the back of the wreck, enjoying rare views of the whole
length of the wreck. It was a lovely dive and ended much too soon-
We found that getting back into the boat was easy with out dive gear on
your back but with takes some serious squats strength in the legs to
push up from the bottom of the ladder. We will need to extend the
ladder a bit to make it easy to get back in with gear on.
