The diving was great and weather hot but on returning back I got a call from the police. Apparently some uneducated locals had reported me for diving an historic protected wreck site called the Bartholemew. The site of the Bartholemew is reported to be a fifteenth century cannon site which I have dived on a license before. We were actually diving a wreck we found last year called the Magdeleine. A steam trawler probably of nineteenth century origin with huge boilers and winches which, are not normally found on fifteenth century wrecks! After I explained some history and the historic wrecks act of 1974 they were happy and went off to resolve the matter with the individuals unaware of the charts and rules. Diving was amazing and the guys were pleased to see something close to the harbour with lots of interesting things to investigate. We have some interesting things to reseach and a few artifacts to report and clean up for the museum or a display.
This is what happens when we have to dive with a Mcnugget and the eedjits on the hill around us.
