I left Humber Divers Ltd approx 1986, The company managed for a further year then went into voluntary liquidation.

I continued with my property interests (commercial property lettings, building land etc)but teamed up with a Mike Oxlade to do research of wrecks and cargoes etc.
The following are just a few of the wrecks Mike and I explored.

This photograph shows a great white shark coming out of the water lifted by a crane, and is 19ft 7inchs long, and weighs 3200 kilos (two ton)
The photo was sent to me by a Maltese friend back in 1988.
It was caught off Malta about 500 yards from the harbour mouth.
