Pottsville Wreck Site

Technical dive east of Pottsville on a mark given to us by our good friend and owner of a local fishing charter business. We didn't find the main wreckage but the piece we found in the time we had would indicate a trawler. Strong wind and current made anchoring into this site very difficult. When the anchor finally grabbed on the fourth attempt we assumed we were into the wreck. We were not, we had managed to hold into the sand and had to run lines from the anchor to search the site. We found what appears to be a piece of wreckage from a trawler but ran out of time to find the main wreck given the depth was 48 metres. We will return with hopefully better weather conditions and maybe some more anchor chain. Thanks to Technical divers: Gary Evans, Barry Duffill and Matt Oreo. Support diver: Jason Green

sure is, it is not unusual to see 2 or 3 laying together but there were at least 6 here piled on top of each other. Very unusual, I have not seen them do this before

Is that a whole school of wobbies sitting on the end of the wreckage at 1:36? I've never seen that before
