In 2011 we dived with MS Dolfijn, a former patrol ship of the Dutch customs, near Lowestoft UK. We left Maassluis in the Netherlands on Sunday morning and arrived Sunday evening in Lowestoft. This coast town is the most eastern city of the UK. When we arrived the English coast windmill (126 mtr) high Gulliver was seen first. The historical coast line was a fantastic sight. Later it also proved to be very nice for a walk and a drink ;))

After we arrived late in Lowestoft the next morning we dived close to shore. Unfortunately visibility was < 30 cm and diving was stopped. We moved 30 miles from shore to the next wreck. The visibility was much better and we decided to make more dives there.
The rest of the week we had to much wind. So I can offer you a very nice movie on the unknown wreck and some pictures of things we did the rest of the week. But first let us start with a nice movie of the dive to the 45-50 mtr wreck. The movie made by Dop shows the wreck, the descent and ascent
We had a great week, with ower enemy the wind. Fortunately all divers had a great time. Loved to be in the UK again. We took our mascot COW with us:
Therebreathersite was founded by Jan Willem Bech in 1999. After a diving career of many years, he decided to start technical diving in 1999. He immediately noticed that at that time there was almost no website that contained the history of closed breathing systems. The start for the website led to a huge collection that offered about 1,300 pages of information until 2019. In 2019, a fresh start was made with the website now freely available online for everyone. Therebreathersite is a source of information for divers, researchers, technicians and students. I hope you enjoy browsing the content!
