Big... - I can attest to the author's comments...coming down onto this ship is like landing from space onto a tennis court made of steel in the dim vis. The sheet steel seems to go on for ever. I don't ever remember being able to get from the stern to the bow and back again on a single tank. From memory, I think the ship breaks up a bit towards the front, but I seems to remember that the sides had fallen in at the rear to have this huge flat surface that you come down on from the anchor rope. Only ever had one really good vis day here, with about 20m vis, mostly about 8 m. It's been while, I'd like to get back and check out how it's getting on.
