I found one report about the O and it was "clear", but that was only a few weeks after the oil started coming out. Hoping someone has been out recently and could give a report on the conditions.
I'm going to call MBT and Dr.Dive both in the morning and see if they have any reports.
Thanks for the info. Looks encouraging.
Thanks,
Michael
We're getting water quality reports regularly, and while they don't cover the area of the Oriskany, they have been encouraging, with no significant hazards identified outside of visible oil. Air quality samples have also been good. The EPA and Coast Guard have stated that there's no reason to not put divers in the water outside of visibile oil.

Capt. Jim Meyers - Dr. Dive - has been running trips up until last week. He's on vacation now, and won't be running again until early August. When he or other boats return, MBT will be running advanced classes out to the Oriskany again - as long as it's safe!
