Diving the Aloha

[divedude]

All DIR divers must be prepared for diving the Aloha/Effie Mae
It's a highly technical dive to amazing depths down to a huge depth of 55'......... Very scary :wacko:

Please don't attempt this dive unless you are fully prepared!!!

See attached photo to get a idea of how a true tech. diver could attempt this highly dangerous dive.

I hope you charged him for a 2 wreck dive knowing the Effie Mae is reachable from the Aloha.

I think he is being well prepared, not DIR though must be PADI Tec or DSAT, love to have the filling contract on those babies though.

Too bad he didn't have 2 or 3 more tanks so that he could be completey surrounded by them...

 

[Silverback]

What i'd like to know is...

What kind of bladder was used... Single or double. and was it one of those large volume bladders or was it a single one and he managed to get his bouyancy balanced just right.

I'd like to see those swam up with using his drysuit as the backup.

 

[Eric__U]

you'd think a rebrather would be cheaper then the tanks + mix surronding the guy.

 

[FreeFloat]

How does he see anything or even move, surrounded like that???

Perhaps that explains the rotten trim....

 

[DeepScuba]

With all that crap sourrounding him?? He ain't upside down, so I'd say his trim is pretty good!

 

[Tom R]

Most of the tanks aren`t even hooked up, looks suspect.

 

[DeepScuba]

They have the funky green isolator knobs though.

He's so good, he can switch the reg he's using onto the new set without skipping a breath.

OR....he just turn the knob on and off and breathes the bubble.

heheh

If memory serves well -- and who knows -- I believe someone explained to me that the **** in that photo was attempting some ridiculous depth record in that rig and died in the attempt. Of course that may be Urban Myth, but I find it a believeable one!
