Thistlegorm Hold #2
One of the best wreck dives in the world was part of our list of sites to visit. The Thistlegorm was an Allied supply ship sunk in 1941. The history behind it is quite interesting and worth a read. We did 3 dives on the Thistlegorm, exploring both levels of the interior of holds 1 and 2 as well as checking out the exterior damage and debris from the explosions. There were several trucks, dozens of motorcycles amongst the equipment in the surviving holds. It was weird to see the massive destruction from the bomb that hit hold 3, then go into hold 2 and see trucks with their windshields intact and rubber motorcycles in the backs of the trucks waiting to be off loaded.
