North East Breaker & Cristobal Colon

Today we had a 'station dive'/scientific diving practice on wreck mapping. Our aim was to find wreck of the Dredger. But unfortunately after about one hour search we couldn't find it. The dive leader decided to change our plan and go to another wreck laying not far away - Cristobal Colon. Beautiful, and the biggest of many of the wrecks lying around the Bermuda. The deck of the ships is on ~25feet so not very deep. Our task was to map the ship by measuring the lengths between characteristic points and the transect along the middle of the wreck and writing down the lengths. Unfortunately the conditions underwater were not the best. Big swells were disturbing our work rocking us on sides. In many cases the current pushed me on the reef and as a result I have a hole in my brand new wet-suit that I have used twice :(

Fortunately, it was the leather strengthenings and not my knee! Beside that we couldn't do the mapping very well, the diving site was beautiful. Full of corals and parrot fishes with rainbow colors. Looking forward the ext dive.
