Fw: Castaways Recovery

Saturday 28th June 08

Castaway Divers Recover two Motorcycles

Trev and Dave of "The Castaway Divers" were back at the secret location today with Jim and Scott as surface cover to try to lift a motorcycle from 27m. Trev and Dave attached another lifting bag and freeing the bike from snags the bike lifted to the surface with no effort. The second bike was found at only 2m but needed four lift bags to raise it. It didn't seem to have been in the water that long as it only ran out of tax in January this year.

Castaways Search Quarry

Castaway divers have a new project searching a un-used quarry with the permission of the owner. The quarry’s location is secret, thought to be a depth of around 40m water temp is 19c on the surface and 6c at the bottom well at 27m anyway. These photos were taken on the second dive at the site where Swampy and Trev attempted to lift a small motorbike with Simon, Jim, Matt & Tat giving surface support, unfortunately after attaching lifting bags the bike seamed to get snagged during the lift so will survive few more days sunk in the water . More on this story soon.
