One of the areas where the bombs are is 35m deep and the other is 55m.\n\n It will be great when one of the highballs is sitting in the museum.\"<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta elementor-has-image elementor-testimonial-image-position-aside\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"531\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecsac.org.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BSAC-Highball-dive-team-Macc-1-scaled-e1590698039631.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9040\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecsac.org.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BSAC-Highball-dive-team-Macc-1-scaled-e1590698039631.jpg 531w, https:\/\/www.ecsac.org.uk\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BSAC-Highball-dive-team-Macc-1-scaled-e1590698039631-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-name\">Mark Paisey<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-874560f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"874560f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2db2c4f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2db2c4f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bf1373e\" data-id=\"bf1373e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cbd1c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3cbd1c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fce5576 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fce5576\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How the project came about<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-d792261 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"d792261\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-48d8805\" data-id=\"48d8805\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ead21a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ead21a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The\u00a0Highball\u00a0project was born after Mark Paisey qualified as a BSAC First Class Diver in 2016 and started looking around for a worthwhile project to use his skills.\u00a0\u00a0He was put in touch buy a mutual friend with Dr Iain Murray, author of Bouncing-Bomb Man: the science of Sir Barnes Wallis and a trustee of the Barnes Wallis Foundation of which Mary Stopes-Roe, Sir Barnes Wallis&#8217;

Of course Kevin hadn\u2019t arrived yet (as he was traveling down on the Saturday morning for a 10am launch) but we were eager!<\/p><p>With a successful launch down the RNLI ramp and into the water, we then crossed the inner seas from Largs to Loch Striven, 14Km across mirror still water.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ffbf64c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"ffbf64c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c53ac78\" data-id=\"c53ac78\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f07a3d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f07a3d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Some porpoises came along to wish us luck!\u00a0 Now came an exercise in buddy building.

We attempted to shot near to \u2013 but not on top of the Side-Charge as we have never been assured that it was not actually \u201cLive\u201d!<\/p><p>A few minutes passed and we thought the dark depths had got to Steve and Kev as their bubbles kept going round and round in circles. It wasn\u2019t until they surfaced that we realised the visibility was so poor they had to set up a circular search pattern to locate the side charge. But it was a success and lines were now in so everyone could easily locate the start of the dive trail.<\/p><p>Next in went Alex and Michelle. Their original job was to dive the bombs for Alex to take the photographs for the photogrammetry portion of our mission.

Well not only did they manage to find the anchor chain, they even managed to run a line around two bombs and then sent a blob up for easy location. But there\u2019s more, they then managed to travel the length of the chain north to the huge anchor and sent another blob up.. It only took 18 minutes of deco for Jon to come back up and Dave\u2019s rebreather hadn\u2019t failed him\u2026yet. But this meant that we finally had a full dive trail!<\/p><p>Next in were Clive and Alison. They decided to drop down on the anchor and go along the chain to see if they could spot any more highballs. Alas, plenty of chain and also plenty of life but no bombs.<\/p><p>Mike, Vesta and Steve went in last again dropping on the anchor.

Cheshire Cat and Top Cat were put out to sleep in the marina and the gang headed down to the pub, gloating to Vesta who was still in work. At 10:30pm the gang was complete.<\/p><div dir=\"ltr\"><p>Day 2 &#8211;\u00a0Cheshire Cat, manned by Mike, Jon Spencer and Simon set off for Loch Striven to put a shot in at the side charge while the rest of the gang went to find the Lady Margaret, a 18th century wreck. Sufficed to say, no one found the wreck as it was wooden, but there was an abundance of life including some quiet antsy crabs!\u00a0 After lunch we all headed off to Loch Striven to dive Mike\u2019s plan.<\/p><p>Jon Green and Spencer went in first, down the shot to locate the side charge and then their mission was to find the chain, hopefully a bomb along the way, and send off a red blob. This was a success!\u00a0 Cheshire Cat was to find the anchor and shot it but alas we missed and Vesta and Peter were sent down to try a circular search pattern to find the anchor. Unfortunately with limited air due to depth they had to abandon their search.\u00a0 Alex and Michelle were sent down to start their Photogrammetry, initial photo results look very promising (see below).<\/p><p>Simon and Dave went in next and they found the anchor and placed a shot onto it so that tomorrow we could find it again.<\/p><div dir=\"ltr\"><p>Jo, Helen, Mike and Alison enjoyed a dive down the side charge and along the chain which proves to be a good route for day 3!<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;
