Has anyone dived on HMS Cressy , sunk 25 miles off the Dutch Coast ??

If you have ( or even if you haven't ) and / but know of any decent operators
who take divers out to the wreck , I would be grateful if you could let me know.
Preferably on the group , but e-mail address is correct.

Thanks

WWW.FOGOISLE.NL is an operator who dives on HMS Cressy.

Search for "Cressy" or "Kruisers" on their page.
Cressy is one of three Cruisers ("Kruisers") sunk by a single U-Boat (U-9)
on a single morning. Aboukir was hit at 07:20, Hogue at 07:50 and Cressy at
08:35.
At the time (1914), the British were not amused, since the attack happened
even before breakfast: definately "not cricket".
Don't expect too much: most of the wreck is covered with sand. The three
wrecks are within a couple of miles of each other, and usually dive
operators go to "the cruisers", at the very last moment selecting one to
dive on, depending on circumstances (e.g. other vessels on the site: divers,
anglers).

Happy Bubbles,

Lucas
