U853 dive trip

[barrmust]

The club I belong to is diving the U853 over theMemorial day weekend. We have a boat chartered for May 30-31. We need 2 more divers to fill the boat. It is a 6 pack so no crowding.

We are diving out of New London. This looks like it will be a great dive trip. For more info contact me through a pm or ask any questions you want.

It is a great dive. You will have alot of fun.

Everyone I have talked to has said it is a great dive. The vis is normaly very good this time of year so we are looking to have a great time.

We still have 2 spot to fill for the trip. I am kind of surprised that no one has taken the last 2 spots already. Just ask any questions and I will be happy to answer them.

I have been on her more times than I can remember over the last 20 years. Vis is variable, could be 5' or it could be 40'. It is usually quite busy on the wreck over big weekends such as Memorial day. Have a great time.

The cost is $135 per day for a total of $270 per diver. That is for the boat ride out. You would need to take care of your hotel ect if you need it seperatly.

We are planning on diving the U853 and the Black Point.

Can you tell me what the water temperature is there this time of year and what type of exposure suit you could get by with? I have always wanted to do that dive. Not sure I can make it with this short of notice, but can sure try.

 

[barrmust]

So we have 1 spot left for this weekend. We are diving sunday-monday. The boat recomends a 7mil suit.

We ended up making a dive on her the day we made that image. We had about 30' of vis.
