That was on top of the wreck, which is inverted. Just below this is started to really get milky, and 10' off the bottom it was real bad. There is significant relief, over 40' off the bottom...

Footage from a recent trip to Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia to dive the WWII Japanese wrecks of Truk Lagoon. Enjoy!

Season 2 premiere tonight on The HISTORY Channel at 10 PM EST.

Apparently the there was no deceased diver. Word going around is an epic "Florida Man" story...but not sure what parts are fact and what are fiction. But here is the news account about it without the color...

Cthippo is correct. There were multiple variants of the Douglas Skyraider and it served many roles. This variant, the AD-5, was significantly widened, allowing two crew to sit side-by-side (this was not the first multiple-crew variant, the AD-1Q being a two-seater and the AD-3N a three-seater)...

Divers find sunken Korean War-era Marine plane off Miami

Take it up with AFS.

I am well aware of IUCN classifications...and the fact we (i.e., US) do not manage species via IUCN's classifications.

I was simply being factual. It is not listed as endangered, nor threatened, under the Endangered Species Act.

They are not an endangered species.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I really don't care if you disagree with my verbiage. Having dived with Joe for 20+ years, from a wide variety of cave dives to 400' deep wreck dives 150 nm offshore, I am gutted that he passed away on a wreck less than 2 nm offshore that can be easily...

For the sake of clarity: that's not what I said. There is a difference between "would" and "could." Of course it's easy to foresee what "could" happen, but it apparently it is also easy to rationalize the likelihood of those scenarios happening are so remote they "would" not happen. Or at least...

MODERATORS - feel free to split off as you see fit. A copy of this post and answering posts specific to the practice has been created. Do not respond to this post in this A&I thread. Do not go to the new thread to discuss the accident and diver loss from this thread in A&I. Here is the link to...

This post has been copied over from another thread in A&I. Answering posts to this post from that thread have been deleted there and will be brought over here. This thread is for the discussion of the specific practice of running split charters/boats. Do NOT discuss HERE, the accident and...

Because it is speculative and from personal conversations not supported by follow-up analysis of gear, which won't be available until it's released by the authorities. Furthermore, other bits are opinions based on personal experience with the deceased, and obviously may conflict with actual...

I can see that. But I made that comment to allow folks to engage their brains to hopefully recognize the concerns about the referenced conclusion/scenario. And the points I raised (depth/pressure effects on PO2 and gas volume) are fundamentals of all diving, not just CCR. While I again...

Appreciate the response Mark. Yes, these scenarios can happen as described. And I am aware of incidents where divers have gone hypoxic and perished on the bottom due to O2 valves being turned off. But IMHO this speaks of poor training, experience, and practices. EDIT: "While the loop PO2 is...
