COPPERHEAD DIVER
Local company Mutiny Diving is based at the Glenmore Centre, Whitfield and is operated by Chris Webb. Chris himself is an extremely active diver and also runs a
variety of RYA power boat courses using his RIB Copperhead Diver. This page gives an insight into a typical dive on a wreck in the channel and I hope it whets your appetite (see what I did there
!?!?!)
All the images here were taken during an evening dive on the 4th May 2014.

Thank you.
With the wreck located and the shot line secured, diving can commence.

On this dive, the conditions were exceptional. The sea was like a mirror, the tide stopped running and the vis was twenty feet or so, you just don’t get
conditions as good as this often. After notifying the coastguard of our position, numbers of people and other relevant information, the duration of the dive was approximately 40 minutes and on one of
the many wrecks not far from Dover.
Some 40 minutes later, having sent up lift bags with “spidge” they have collected, Chris and Tom return to the RIB and are recovered
onboard.
It isn’t just about the rewards under the water, how about this for a view! The sun sets over the White Cliffs of Dover as yours
truly is trusted to take the helm and us all home.
Want to know what they got?!

Smiles all round! Tom and Chris show off their finds. Tom was extremely proud of his radio morse key contraption which is now
undergoing restoration. A bowl, a very nice flagon and some bottles which can all be identified and offer a fascinating snapshot of social and maritime history were among the
finds……
Many thanks for the experience guys. A great evening.
