[PSUBS-MAILIST] Keith Gordon, diving Niagra

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian, thanks.
Although the Orca can dive to 800ft they usually don't dive beyond 300ft.
Ingrid is interested in observing them at a couple of sea mounts that they
frequent to see what they are feeding on. 
Most of the time in NZ they are spotted moving in & out of harbours feeding.
In NZ & nowhere else they have developed a taste for stingray liver, so are
heading in to the shallows extracting the livers & throwing the rest away.
When they are on the move it would be difficult to anticipate where they were
heading & then put a submersible in their path. I spent some time recently
with an inflatable in tow trying to intercept a group of 10.
Our smaller submersibles would certainly be easier & quicker to get into 
position than something like a Triton submersible.
