 Sean, only the sub is going to the wreck.  We are using Brian's pontoon boat to get to the site.  Brian lives in Cranbrook, just one hr from me.  He also has a house on Kootenay Lake.  I am training Brian in the test pool over the winter, so he might visit the ship in the sub.Hank

 I'd be happy to participate, though I don't think I should dive it. I don't own a rebreather, and 400' is a bit beyond my comfortable range in the open circuit mode. Gas management with those sorts of exposures becomes a logistical headache for anything other than a quick bounce to depth. Closed circuit gear is definitely the better choice for that dive, but that's a few years and several thousands of dollars away for me.

That said, I do have experience as a commercial ROV pilot / technician, and am happy to help out in any other way. Did you reach out to the UASBC?

Brian is living out in that area now, yes? I ran into him at an Edmonton dive shop a year or so ago, but we haven't dived together in decades.

 Sean The wreck is the City Of Ainsworth Paddle Steamer sank in 1898 Kootenay Lake, killing several people.  It was carrying all the furniture and fixtures for a new Saloon in New Denver, so I am told anyways.  This has been a long time dream for me to visit the wreck.  Brian Nadwidney is super into it also.  He has hired ROV company to look at it, but weather is always a problem.  Plus the viz was real bad.  You are welcome to join us.  The wreck is just under 400 feet.  I will explore the debris trail also.Hank

I'm curious to hear more about this steamer wreck. Size? Age? Depth? Etc. Cargo?

 So "no more sub projects" was just a semantic distinction? That took all of a week... ;-)

Good luck. Sounds like you're making that a very capable vehicle.
