The wreck doesn\u2019t seem to have come to any harm in the recent bad weather and is still the same as the last time we dived it. After the Taha last week this was a relief.

We have a few sets of co-ordinates in Sharjah waters to be investigated as and when we can. One of these was called the Beatrix Maria and since the given position was on the way home it seemed like a good opportunity. The search proved to be a bit of a puzzle. We were very excited when a large bulge appeared on the echo sounder near the zero point but successive dives revealed nothing but sandy bottom. I\u2019m not ready to give up on this one just yet and we\u2019ll have another look next time we\u2019re over that way but on this occasion we came up empty.<br \/><span style=\"\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"\"><\/span>After a period sailing around the Greek islands the Kirman\u2019s are back in town for a couple of months.
