A few of us made the most of some spaces being available with Pembrokeshire Boat Charters and dived our favourite Pembrokeshire wreck ‘The Lucy’.
The Dutch coaster Lucy was abandoned by her crew on Valentines Day 1967. She had become wedged on a rock at the south end of Jack Sound, in danger of exploding as her calcium carbide cargo came into contact with water.
A rising tide freed the Lucy from her rock, and the current then carried her until she sank to the north of Skomer Island, just outside North Haven.
Visibility is rarely fantastic here and a few rainy days can bring it to a silty zero. Even on good days natural light will be minimal, but if you give your eyes a chance to adjust when you reach the wreck at 36m, you will be surprised by how much you can see.
We had one of those rare days however and the visibility was fantastic!
