YC21 en F2 112
Groot Brittanie
The F2 and its working vessel, the YC21, sank together during a heavy storm in 1946. The working vessel has two holds, with in one of the holds a bunch of rope and some rubbish. In the other hold you will find a gun and a workshop with a workbench, a closet and two generators where you can swim in between. You can also go forward along the workbench where you can look outside from the ship. Attention, you have to pass a narrow passage. Diving here is always done via a charter company. One and a half hour sailing time from Stromnes.
Particulars
Enter the water from the boat and descend via the anchor line. Between the F2 and the YC21 runs from the back of the working vessel to the bridge of the F2. From there you can reach the front of the ship where you can even get under the bow. Once on the other side you'll find a gun just behind the breakwater. From that point on it all becomes a bit less recognizable. Follow further to the back where you will find more recognizable parts.
Warnings
Penetrating a wreck, such as the F2 or the YC21, can always be dangerous. Make sure you have the right certificate and take the necessary measurements.
