Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.

Re: SS Governor
What an awesome story.
Can one of you guys post some details of the dive profile? I am interested in how you staged gas and what the deco obligation is for a dive like that.

Hey, Matt! I'll fill you in a bit about the profiles privately. I usually avoid posting details publicly, for a variety of reasons. I will say that 4 minutes down, and 25 minutes on the wreck gave me a total run time around 2 hours.Matt S. wrote:What an awesome story.

I agree with Josh.
However I'd be glad to sit down over a cup of coffee or a couple of cold ones and answer any questions you may have.

Re: Re: Re: Re: SS Governor
It's a scary place. I don't mean to be a jerk or anything, and I will discuss any dive plan in detail with pretty much anyone....offline. I'm just really, really tired of having my dives dissected by people online. My new policy is that I just won't post dilluent/ bailout gasses or actual profiles anywhere.spatman wrote:lol, no thanks. that place scares me.Joshua Smith wrote:Not gonna take the bait, dude.
