Technical Scuba Diving
FINALLY! It seems apt that this is being published on "Groundhog Day" since it seems like I kept waking up in a loop and diving the same-ole Yukon trying to finish my same-ole model. The model isn't perfect and I faced many, many challenges when trying to build it, but I have what I consider [...]
Intro I've been on the A.C.E. wreck out of Dana Point quite a few times. The last time I dove it was December 2022 and I built a photogrammetry model of the wreck. For a single dive, the model came out pretty good and involved a 90 minute dive (60 minutes bottom, 30 minutes deco) [...]
Summary Tyler "the magician" Stalter has done it once again - we found another airplane wreck based on his bathymetric research. Danny Graham operates the Triton out of Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard and we've been trying for quite some time to do some diving on his boat to go look for new wrecks. We [...]
Intro Tyler Stalter has, once again, located a new wreck and we have a high probability identification. This discovery was part of the Expedition Unknown TV show so we had to keep it under wraps for a little while. The wreck is down near Imperial Beach in relatively shallow water which means that visibility is [...]
Intro [NB: I want to set the record straight: Tyler Stalter was the person who came up with the whole idea for this episode and he also found and identified the Bearcat target that we dove during filming. The filming date got moved around and Tyler couldn't participate due to work commitments. We filmed multiple [...]
Intro Tyler and I had a few targets that were deep that we wanted to check out and we had a weather window recently to go look at them. We headed out on Dec 11, 2023 on the Marissa with Lora, Chris, Captain & Scout. Tyler had a friend who had located an airplane during [...]
Background Santa has come early and Tyler has struck gold once again! We had seen a ROV video taken during a survey but we weren't sure of the location. After a lot of hard work, research, and cross referencing, Tyler had a target for us to go check out. We were pretty sure it was [...]
Intro After Dive 8 in which I had Lauren literally lay down on the Yukon in order to get a point of reference for the photos for the model, I was ready to just give up when that didn't work. I'm not sure what happened with Dive 9 but I think it was so disappointing [...]
Background It is getting to be that time of year where I start writing the posts for dives that I did during the year but never had time to document. I recently saw the articles about the team that found the Skyraider off the coast of Florida (nice job!) and I reminded me about the [...]
Background A couple years ago, Tyler and finally found a helicopter wreck that we had been looking for. It took a lot of detective work and running down a lot of leads before we finally correctly identified it. After we published the story, we were contacted by one of the survivors of the crash, Donald [...]
