This was my first dive at Scarfscarry. I remember I was quite excited at the prospect of diving here as there are two wrecks fairly close to each other. These are the Victoria and the Link Moore which was the wreck we dived. you can't really do both in one dive as they are some distance apart. On the day the viz wasn't up to much as it was a little rough. We entered from the slip at Scarfscarry and swam along the channel untill we got into open water. This was where I got my first look at the wreck. It was good to see it but I wasn't impressed as it is mostly broken up. Maybe I had been expecting to much. There was a lot of ribs, steel plates and webs coverd in seaweed. We did see the rudder though and i thought that was "cool". :) We then tryed to go round the head but turned back as the rip was to powerfull. The viz spoilt the dive a little but I still enjoyed it.
