Yes,  the water is cold...very cold, however, while diving in Soncy Bay the other day I found this beautiful piece of an old jug, there is a nice crest on it with lions wearing crowns, a cross and some other markings...it was in 3 pieces but was only able to put 2 together. It had some marine growth on it which came off easily and was laying exposed on the eastern slope, close to where I have found other objects. It is more than likely from the late 1700s and German in origin. Hopefully I will find some more pieces in future dives

> I have recently been told from someone who lives nearby that the crest with the lions is the Crest of Amsterdam
