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.

Off Malta 1988
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.
