Would have to say the scaffold clamp - hard to imagine purpose under water but guess when work was done on the station house.


I did find it frustrating at times locating the relevant forms that I needed for the Clean Up. Search engine can take you circles if you enter not exact criteria - thinking of Data card. Took several searches to find.

Site generally very clean. We did also do a Beach Clean Up and will submit this data to MCS direct. All divers made a donation to our Charities Project AWARE and Selsey Lifeboat Station and we have raised £96.50 for each. Well done to everyone who helped.
