Technical Scuba Diving
The B-36 Peacemaker The B-36 "Peacemaker" is an enormous airplane that was designed and built by Convair. I've always thought it was an interesting moniker to be called the "Peacemaker" since it was built the be the first bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in the massive US arsenal from inside the [...]
This was my first dive in 2022. I had planned on doing more research to identify the wreck before publishing but I have quite a few other projects I'm working on so I decided to publish it without an ID. I was with Ray and Kyaa on the Sundiver Express for my first dive of [...]
Background Tyler has been doing a lot of research by reading through old newspaper archives looking for potential new wrecks to locate and dive. He recently came across some articles about a P-51 Mustang that crashed off the coast of Laguna Beach. He started looking through some bathymetry data and came across a small anomaly [...]
After doing some searching for targets and doing a dive on an unknown boat near Hamilton Cove (more on that in another post), I figured it might be fun to go dive the Infidel. The last time I was there was July of 2020. We had such great visibility on the first dive of the [...]
A few months ago, Tyler and I were out with Lora on the Marissa and she said to us "hey, have I ever told you about the wing section that somebody found?" Tyler and I looked at each other with some confusion and jointly say "uhhhh, no!" So off we went to go find this [...]
Background After we did our dive on the UB-88, we moved to another close-by wreck site that has traditionally gone by the name "Yesteryear." If I remember correctly, according to Ray Arntz, the moniker is based upon what fisherman used to call the site. This specific wreck is a bit of a mystery that we [...]
Background I first dove this ketch wreck back in July 2020 with Ben Lair and Justin Judd after we did a dive on the Infidel. It is a really nice and picturesque wreck but, unfortunately, I really never got any good pictures on that first dive so I didn't publish anything about it. Tyler has [...]
Background This is another case where we had seen some ROV footage of a large "yacht-like" vessel and had an approximate location but hadn't been able to pinpoint it. After multiple attempts to locate it, I went with Lora and Chris on the Marissa for another attempt -- but this time we had the sonar [...]
Background Tyler and I were planning to dive on the Marissa a few weeks ago and we were trying to decide on site location. Tyler is always searching for new wrecks and had a hot lead on one. Back in July 1966, famous actor Phillip Bent and folksinger Peter Sacshe were zooming around in a [...]
Background There are two types of technical divers. Those who "tinker" with gear constantly and those that ... WELL, NEVER MIND, there is only one kind of technical diver.... This post will mainly be gear related, but don't worry, there will be some pretty pictures with fish at the end! I had a business / [...]
