I have been diving for nearly five years now and as I live by the sea and own my own boat am fortunate enough to have logged close on 300 sea dives since starting back in December 1998.
I still get a great buzz from diving and have just come back from diving wrecks in the Solomon Islands (2nd year running).
I am particularly fascinatesd in the USS Aaron Ward (DD-483) which I believe is the only diveable destroyer in the Pacific. She sits upright on sand at 70 metres (yes that is metres) and I have now dived her 7 times on compressed air.
With a bit of encouragement I would be happy to start a thread on this subject in the Wreck forum if anyone is interested as there are lots of issues to be dealt with when planning and executing dives at this depth.. and I would be happy to share what I have learnt. I believe I am one of about only 250 divers who have dived this wreck, discovered by New Zealanders in 1994.
Welcome to Scuba Board - a fun place to compare, argue, etc. :hi:
I've love to read about your adventures, including your 200+ fsw dives (you understand most of us are U.S. and highly illiterate in metric? ) but those particular reports might fit better in Tech Forum. Look around, and see what you think.
Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!
>> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??
To the scuba board!
Glad you swam in.
I also would like to read about your adventure's. The first thing I think of is your time on the bottom must be short ? did you use double's. and what was your deco stops like. Mike
