Dates: May 18- 20 201 (Fri- Sun) Dive the Oriskany on 19th- but read on.
Dives: Sat 19 May= private charter, 4 hours on site. 3x rec dives, 2x tec dives. OUTSTANDING!
Location: Based out of AL, 2 hour trip to the Oriskany on a cracking 46' swept-up dive vessel, a Newton dive special.

  • Deploy to Alabama on Friday car pooling, crash at a hotel for the night.
  • Dive the epic Oriskany Saturday and afterwards have dinner, cold oat sodas and hotel that evening.
  • Return Sunday morning (those who wish can continue diving, of course).
  • Monday get on SB and tell everyone how great it was and that they should have been there!
  • PLUS of course there is the option to depart back home after diving the O, should you wish.

Temps around 60 degrees or so I am led to expect.

Full to the gunnels and now closed. Taking indications of interest for (1) waiting list for this trip and (2) a trip for July
 
Holy Moly! Flat calm seas, not another boat on the wreck, outstanding visibility and, the crowning achievement- a night dive on the O. True night, splash started at 9:00 PM or thereabouts. Boat full of top chaps (self excluded, of course). A good mix of recreational and technical divers with something for everyone. Bloody marvellous trip. Planning another for late August Same sort of format as I have no intention of reinventing this particular wheel. Taking indications of interest, no need to commit yet, just indications. Email (preferred) of PM if interested. Outstanding. P
