Would you? In a K350 - Lake Diver aka<br>Harold?<br><br>A couple of weeks ago I was approached with the idea of carrying a 90<br>year-old WWII Vet to a wreck off the coast of New Jersey. He would like to<br>see the USS Algol one last time. An attack cargo ship, he served on her<br>during the war in the Pacific. She was sunk as an artificial reef a number<br>of years ago.<br><br>New Jersey wreck diving is not for sissies. When I've been wreck diving in<br>the Atlantic, as I'm sure many of you have, you have an anchor line to get<br>on the wreck and can get back to the boat via same. A submersible in the<br>North Atlantic with a current ... and usually bad visibility ... mobile in<br>three directions with no attachments ... Diving, if the viz stinks you can<br>use a reel to get back and you avoid any underwater hazards easily enough.<br><br> The wreck is shallow, 70 feet to the super structure, 120 to the sand.<br>Would be trivial to have support divers outside for most of the dive. But<br>Jersey wreck diving in a K350. Mark Ragan and I mused about it. He's not<br>interested. Which leaves me. I'm at about a 20% level of interest.<br><br>At a minimum I think we'd need a boat with a crane. I can't imagine being<br>towed out with a 90 year-old gent in the back and I can't imagine getting<br>him into it while bobbing about anchored onto the wreck. Lifted and dropped<br>in would be my preference.<br><br>Thoughts?<br><br>Brian<br><br><a href="https://youtu.be/CALM6QcYU1I" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/CALM6QcYU1I</a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>---<br>This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.<br><a href="https://www.avast.com/antivirus" target="_blank">https://www.avast.com/antivirus</a><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
