I have a twin engined rib with magnetometer, a side scan is due shortly. I have 2 underwater metal detectors and also have a portable petrol engined hydrovane compressor running an airlift pump for excavating.

I have some amazing friends who have access to all sorts of information regarding last known positions, naval records, U-Boat kills, Time newspaper databases etc.

I also have some very experienced UK diver friends who will join me on any trip for fun.

The hardest bit is lifting 64kg copper ingots from a wreck 90m down, solo, by hand.
