It is official. After countless people have suggested "putting pen to paper," I'm working on the book "Aviation Wrecks of Southern California." A few chapters are currently in-flight (haha) and I will be posting updates on my blog. Stay tuned! https://wreckedinmyrevo.com/2026/01/30/aviation-wrecks-of-southern-california/ #awosc

Crazy good visibility and water color in Southern California. This is from my 60' deco stop on a dive last week. If you live in SoCal and aren't diving right now, you are missing out!

I recently published my traditional, annual "Top 10 Dives & Projects" for 2025. It was another great year with trips to Budapest, Okinawa, and Malin Head and some epic local diving in Southern California to find more new wrecks.

Link to the blog post with all of the details and plenty of pictures and links to the original stories is below:

Deco drive by! We had some fun on deco after diving new targets on Friday with Lora & Chris at Marissa Charters. Tyler & I have been busy and will have details of some new SoCal wrecks soon!

IYKYK. Thanks Isaac! More on my blog once I get a chance to do some testing. :)

Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones.

Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones.

Cessna 414 N414BA was listed as "missing" for 3 months after the crash on 8 Jun 2025 and it is now found as of 16 Sep 2025. We have located and positively identified the wreck and have been in contact with the USCG, NTSB, and the family of the four that perished along with the pilot and his wife.

It has been a week filled with mixed emotions for all of us. Hug your loved ones.

Another epic wreck with Mevagh diving in Malin Hea

Another epic wreck with Mevagh diving in Malin Head. I think we were the fourth team to dive the amazing submarine wreck of the HMS D6. She has a bunch of firsts including (I think) the first submarine sunk in a sub-on-sub battle.

I was going through my photos of the HMS Audacious in Malin Head, Ireland and working on my blog post and found this one of three divers at the stern. I like it a lot and thought I would share it ahead of the blog post. #hmsaudacious #rebreatherdiving #scubaphotography

ICYMI, I recently wrote about my trip to Malin Head, Ireland to dive the amazing wrecks there. It includes a WW1 battleship (guns in the photo), two submarines, some WW1 Sherman Tanks, etc.

ICYMI, I recently wrote about my trip to Okinawa, Japan to create a hi-fidelity photogrammetry model of the USS Emmons.

Information about the model and the trip are posted at:

https://wreckedinmyrevo.com/2025/07/11/uss-emmons-dd-457-dms-22-photogrammetry-model/

I made this poster size version of the model with photos for the USS Emmons Association. I could not have done this project without the help of Kurt Reese.

Gun #2 from the USS Emmons. ICYMI, I just posted a detailed history of the Emmons along with historical photos and photos of key areas from my recent trip. Next up I will publish the epic photogrammetry model. In the meantime, get familiar with this amazing ship that participated in both D-Day and Operation Iceberg in Okinawa. https://wreckedinmyrevo.com/2025/06/30/uss-emmons-okinawa-japan-130-150-fsw/ #ussemmons #scubaphotography #rebreatherdiving #wreckphotography

Very early preview. IYKYK -- or at least that is what I think the cool kids say. :)

Some hot takes from the A.C.E. wreck dive yesterda

Some hot takes from the A.C.E. wreck dive yesterday in Dana Point on the Riviera. Nice conditions for sure. It has been hit-and-miss lately. Ton of sea life on the wreck. Not as many nesting sculpin as in previous dives (I’m guessing it is seasonal), but a ton of other fish.

For more information on the A.C.E. and if you are planning to dive it, I’ve created a detailed photogrammetry model:

The amazing Yukon in San Diego.

The swell is dying down and I'm hoping to get my first dive of 2025 on the Yukon on Sunday, Jan 5th. Who wants to join?

The Marissa has spots open but we need more divers!

ICYMI, on Nov 7th we successfully dove the USCGC McCulloch which sank off Point Conception in 1917. The dive team consisted of DJ Mansfield, Mike Wynd, and myself on board the D/V Triton with Danny Graham and Joe Honsey.

I’ve kept it mostly secret, but it has been been at the top of my “to do” list for the past 3+ years. It is almost impossible to get a weather window and dive team and dive boat to all line up to do this 300 foot dive. That happened on November 7th, 2024.

I’m confident that we are the first dive team to visit the wreck (there has only been ROVs on the wreck until now).

The complete story of the McCulloch, the wreck, the planning that went into it, and wreck photographs are posted at:

https://wreckedinmyrevo.com/2024/11/13/uscgc-mcculloch-point-conception-ca-300-fsw/

It was an amazing dive.

Trident Missile Tower Photogrammetry Model! Anoth

Trident Missile Tower Photogrammetry Model!

Another local SoCal project completed. This one has been on the list for a couple years.

Drew Wilson and I dove the Missile Tower (near the US/Mexico border) with Chris & Lora at Marissa Charters. I had been wanting to build a photogrammetry model of the site for quite some time. My first attempt was in 2021 before I really had enough experience with photogrammetry.

We spent about 45 minutes on the structure and had a little less than an hour of decompression.

The project came out pretty well - especially given the obstacles — fish & metridiums! You can see the massive amount of white metridiums in the model. They are beautiful but they can move slightly in current and when they cover large portions of the structure, it makes it very, very challenging to find areas for photo alignment for the model.

All of the details along with some great photos from Drew is posted at:

A few quick photos from Saturday's dive on the Yuk

A few quick photos from Saturday's dive on the Yukon aboard the Marissa. There was a particularly aggressive Sheepshead near the bow guns. The primary purpose of my dive was to test a few things but I ended up taking a couple photos while I was on the wreck. Don't ask me why they put an American flag on a Canadian destroyer. ;)

We were out on the Marissa diving the USS Hogan on

We were out on the Marissa diving the USS Hogan on Sunday and we had some pretty good vis and a TON of fish. Just a few quick photos from the dive.
