Plan: same plan but an ascent from the middle of the wreck. Deco 1-1-1-1-1-18. Just as relaxed again; you keep seeing new things. The plan was to dive briefly into the cargo hold but Kim did not dare and said so clearly. This time we also had a good look at the rudder so you could see the chains well. Nicely done. The average depth was closer to plan this time too.
