I have come over all queer and need to ask a powerskipper type question.

Sorry PS hehe

Onto the question......

2 weeks ago I crossed the Bay of Biscay on a mobo and took a pic of the plotter, have a look at the plotted depths WOW!

Unfortunately the depth sounder gave up the ghost trying to find the bottom at 170m

So how deep have you been then?

in the water that is /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
your lucky our st60 throws a woobly at about 170m (under the keel and at MLWS if that makes a difference /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
 
On the old boat the fishfinder gave up at 250m.

Deepest bit of water I've crossed is the Puerto Rico Trench at about 8,000m, I often wondered how long it took the empty baked bean tin to sink to the bottom.

It probably never made it ! Got snapped up by some passing denizen of the deep /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh yes .. !

I went swimming in the 400m (charted depth) - totally different experience from swimming in the shallows of up to 20m where you could clearly see the bottom....
 
Totally agree. I went swimming in 1000m, near some cliffs in Turkey. Looking down you would swear the water was black. A very unique experience.
 
25 metres - but then I was wearing SCUBA gear at the time........

64.3 mtrs.....wearing four tanks and it took 1hr 45 to get there and back to the surface!!! All to look at a manky bit of metal on the bottom!! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I couldn't imagine being in anything else that deep.......!
 
just over 200m in the channel - Hurd Deep - be there again this weekend and hauling an angry conger up from down there is bordering on masochistic! it also what 4000w transducers are for........... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

a lot deeper in the med (a lot closer to shore too!)
 
Very deep in the meddy! at least X000 meters! That was between the ballearic islands, but it's deeper off the tunisian coast.
 
Guage gives up at 200' in the middle of Windermere. And its noticably colder if you fall off yer ski's in that bit. (Not that anyone ski's anymore of course) /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
