Great video. I never got to dive on he Somalia when I dived up there a good few years ago. Plenty of dives got blown out when I went unfortunately! Looks like I missed a good dive and you had great viz.

USED TO DIVE THE SOMALIA A LOT, LATE 80'S EARLY 90'S, WHEN SHE COULD BE RECOGNISED AS A WRECK, THROUGH TO THE END OF THE LATE 90'S, ON A WEEKEND YOU NEEDED TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON THE WRECK, THE AMOUT OF BOATS AND DIVERS ON HER... THATS WHEN SHE WAS RATHER DANGEROUS TO GO INSIDE, STARTED TO DETERIORATE, AND COLLAPSING ON HERSELF, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS THIS... EARLY YEARS, EVERY WEEKEND ON EITHER THE FARNES, ABB'S, BEADNALL REEFS, CHANDRIS, OSLOFJORD, EASTER DUNBAR OR OBAN, INNER, OUTTER HEBRIDES... LOTS LEAD SOLDIERS AT ATTENTION, AND IF YOU WHERE REALY LUCKY, A HORSE REARING UP, WITH THE SOLDIER WITH A SWORD, ONLY EVER SEEN 2 OF THOSE... EXCELLENT VIDEO, STAY SAFE, THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES, STILL GOING, DEFINITELY NOT AS MUCH 😂😂

Thanks, there's still lots of stuff to be seen, like various types of bottles, shaving kits, vapour rubs, etc... I've never seen a lead soldier yet!. I heard she was salvaged by some guy with a grab on a boat for a while. The video doesn't show the debris field either or the spare prop, which is still there. I couldn't film it all in one slack water dive. Next time!
