Andrea Doria Discussion

[Jared0425]

The "Republic" did go down with gold bars as part of its cargo. Whether they were located or recovered, I can't say. It was unidentified for years until the Doria sank. I think it is considered a more hazardous dive as well, but I am uncertain as to why. It may be deeper than the "Andrea Doria', but with similar currents and hazards.

Ain't nothing on that wreck but junk. It's amazing that we can track gold and silver dating back to ships from 1500~ to modern day, but can't fine evidence from 1909? I argued with him here on this board when he came out with his conclusions. Learned more since then.

Sorry not A.D. specific, but what the heck is this front flip entry called at 12 seconds into the video?


I've seen it on some old Deep Sea Detectives videos and thought it they were just having some fun.

 

[Gone for diving]

It's called
Falling forward and sideways.

I kinda use something similar when getting out at the front of my buddies bowride boat, just alot more convenient and safer.

When you are wearing that much gear, it's often difficult/impossible to walk to the back of the boat for a giant stride entry. The side roll is often the only practical way to get into the water.

Here is some GoPro footage one of the guys shot during our last dive. Pretty dark, but gives you some idea of what the debris field is like:

Black dark, broken down wreck, hazy viz, lots of sediment, sounds like fun.

Yes Sir, same boat.

The 1st time it's a little weird, after that it's fine.
