I can't get into all of this on the forum but the are is away from the dam and has a ton of debris. When we dive with tec classes we stay fairly close to the dam since there's not a lot to see when you get away from it and navigation is much tougher out in the open when you start having to make...

We'll get clearance to go back out and search. We tec divers who normally dive the area do not go to the area where many believe Tim may be. A group was thinking about being out there this weekend. I'll check with them and see how it went.

Sorry man - guess I'm worn down from a long weekend. Didn't mean to come across that way.....

Completely Non Valued Added.....

You're kidding right? I'm nobody to answer that question. I'm just trying to find the guy.....

BTW - as inferred in my last quote, they have closed the area as a crime scene again and told us not to dive there. With the improving viz, the ROV should work better with less backscatter from lights. It was actually pretty decent and peaceful down there.

It depends upon the diver and the instruction. It's one thing to be certified as an AOW diver, it's quite another to actually BE an Advanced diver. It's like in Kempo - they tell us when you are awarded your black belt, it means you are a really good Brown Belt. It is up to the student to...

Thanks - easy to get separated down there as evidenced yesterday!

Thanks for your comments, I was one of the searchers on the dive boat to the West. We were the ones conducting the search. We were searching in depths to 214ffw and viz was 10-15 feet. We managed to eliminate some key areas and we will be coordinating with other members of the search team...

Yes the MCSO dive was based upon the "best" information that was communicated as will our survey and search that begins tomorrow morning.

Man hours I would think. When I was out there with them they had 3 boats, 6-7 guys dawn to dusk.

You're not kidding. I sold my Optima since I just couldn't justify having it with my day job and what not. I miss it at times like this! I am done restoring my car now so maybe I can talk to the financial committee!!!!! :D I certainly did like the Helium and Oxygen bills better in the...

It depends. With the search for Gilbert Aldana, the search was too deep at Vista Point and they discontinued so the family came to Dart, Me and a few others to ask us to search. I can talk to the MCSO guys if it is permanently suspended to see if they would be interested in a group of us...

JAX - you're really toeing the line on this one. You are taking a small amount of information and blowing it into broad and general statements. MCSO Posse has at least one VERY capable, seasoned diver who is a trimix instructor, cave diver and firefighter. They will call him first. If you...

This will all come out in the end. It is being withheld right now for the investigation. The computer will have a lot on info in it as will the amount of air in his tanks, equipment configuration and location. You don't deserve to get flamed for that - we all feel the same way.

As long as it is capable of extracting him...

Excellent news! Are they calling out Dart to do the dive? It's goinna take quite a bit of helium for that!

I am very curious now - who is "Us" ???

I do hope that this is poorly executed sarcasm....?
