We moved from diving off Flambo Hd,and decided to dive from Holmpton (near Withernsea) the "CANADA" wreck had never been dived before, so we decided to be a bit more adventurous then the rest of the Hull BSAC. On our first dive on the wreck, Bob found the Bell (the Police confisigated it later)the wreck was littered with portholes, brass etc, it was a divers dream, even the engineers room was filled with spanners still in their racks,and there was shoals of cod etc, the wreck now, is nothing like it was in those days.
