Technical Scuba Diving
Background This is the third in a series of posts about my project to document the interiors of wrecks. The first post covered the engine room of the Ruby E, the second post is the engine room of the Yukon, and this post will be about the corridor (or path) leading from the stern of [...]
Intro After working on the engine room in the Ruby E, I figured I would tackle the engine room on the HMCS Yukon. The engine room in the Yukon is significantly bigger (of course!) and has all kinds of cool gears, pipes, flywheels, etc. and I figured it would make for a much "meatier" project. [...]
Background I've spent the past 12-18 months thinking about how to best show the insides of wrecks to both divers and non-divers. This post is the first in a series of probably 4 or 5 parts. Each post will highlight some of the techniques and challenges I have faced while working on this long-term project. [...]
Introduction Tyler and I got a lead on a P-38 that was in deep water (325 fsw) off of Point Loma so we decided to go out with Chris & Lora on the Marrisa. For those types of depths, it is always good to have a couple of divers with you that you know will [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
