Team Delta identify a new wreck, the Progress 3 July 14, 2006

Team Delta identify a new wreckMark Chase posted a great trip report at Rebreather World, covering a recent dive trip he made in the English Channel, with the aim of diving new ‘marks’ and hopefully identifying the vessels. During the trip they made three dives, and one of the team found a bell which identified one wreck as the Progress 3.

Intriguingly, they found a wreck which Mark christened as the ‘Bolder Wreck’ and he was reluctant to give out any details, so this might be a bit special;


I dropped to 6 and took a rest to get my breath back. The water was clear and cool and I felt great. Simon and I were first in on a small wreck standing only a few meters proud on the sonar so we had a good chance of getting to the good bits first. I was soon struggling to drop as fast as Simon.

We hit the bottom of the shot at 62m with ambient light and 20m viz and we couldn’t believe what we could see.

Unfortunately I can write no more about it as it has been decided that for the good of the team the information should remain confidential. Suffice as to say I had never seen anything like it before in the UK. I christened it the Bolder Wreck.
