Fascinating to see what is is like down there. I also enjoyed seeing the pinnacles. Best regards.

I know the area round the big pit very well and have taken many photos. Always wondered what it must be like under the water. Now I know; Brilliant video. Well Done. The last time I was there, I met a gentleman who told me he worked at the quarry all his life. He had many stories. Thanks again for the video ken

Glad you enjoyed it Ken, here is a link to a Pathe news film showing the big pit towards the end of its life @watch?v=kNciPwtt938

Henry was my best friend, his plaque is now missing. I was there last weekend.

Hi Darren I hope seeing David Hayes's plaque didn't upset you too much. I was at Dorothea on 16 Oct and bumped into Steve Brown. He had heard that Henry's plaque was missing and was about to do a dive to search for it at 90m. I hope it turns up because I wouldn' t like to think that it has been stolen by a fellow diver. Regards Andrew

@iciclediver Hiya Andrew, thanks for the info, we have had some friends search for it to no avail as yet. We will put a new one up soon.
