Very cool! I've dived a few wrecks off the north Norfolk coast. Would be nice to just walk about without it being dark, cold, and things trying to kill you.

1st rule of diving - always dive somewhere with warm water and good vis

2nd rule of diving - see rule 1

never seen the point of diving in the UK, but I'm just a midlands softie

Good call. To be honest I hate diving in the miserable dark.
We ran a survey boat out of Wells for a couple of years and took extreme wreck diving headcases out in between 'shoots' for a bit of extra dollar.
Went down on a few interesting wrecks - The 'Umpire', a submarine that is a 'dive through' sunk by a British trawler when it surfaced right in front of it and knocked the sail off.

There's also a WW11 supply ship with a steam engine on the deck (well - its fallen through it now) ...there are over 100 wrecks off here, although the Admiralty dynamited most in the shipping lanes in the 50's as hazards so most are debris fields.
