This is for divers who have used the mine. I am actually prompted on this by Paul's amazing photograph.

The abandonment plans show several pumps at different stages down the incline. I am wondering if any are still in situ, obviously now under water. I appreciate though, that there are depth limits.
Any info appreciated, as indeed more underwater photos.

Thanks Roy ;)

This video guy does some great stuff , the one in Holme bank is still the best one thats been done in there. You can see the water clarity when its not been dived to much although in this vid the water was very low
