Bahamas debriefed

It has been over a month now since returning from the Bahamas shoot, and thinking back it was a remarkable experience. 
The bbc natural history unit have sunk a boat off  Stuart's Cove at the western end of Nassau.  The decommissioned tug had to be cleaned and scrubbed before being sunk, explosives expert David Jones had the job of overseeing the sinking. There were a number of cameras bolted to the ship to record the actual event, two of these were trashed. Much to everyones amazement the ship landed perfectly bolt upright on the sea bed, which just what was wanted. The location was carefully selected to be sheltered from hurricanes and also fairly shallow at 14 metres. After a year there is a profuse growth of algae and a wide assortment of marine life growing on the hull. It lies on a white sandy bottom in a slight hollow between coral reefs. the sandy sea bed is carpeted with Flat-Top Bristle Brush algae (Penicillus pyriformis), between these swim Goat Fish attended by usually 2 or 3 smaller silvery fish who stick with the Goat Fish hoping it will kick up morsels of food.
