$1750 for a 3 day trip. I'm sure it's a great dive, but you gotta have the equipment, skills, and BUDGET apparantly.

Don't forget your underwater camera. "This is me, at the Doria." Priceless.
For everything else there is Mastercard.

The two famous boats -- Seeker and Wahoo are not running to the Doria this year. The Seeker is only being used for private projects. The Wahoo was sold last year to Capt. Hank Garvin who has renamed it the R/V Garloo and will not be running to the Doria this year. I don't belive the Sea Hunter or the Eagles Nest is running to the Doria either.
I have one charter scheduled in July on the JohnJack. I think we have 4 openings left on that trip.

The Eagles Nest is definately not doing the Doria this year. The Lockness (http://www.locknessdiveboat.net) out of Freeport has a trip scheduled for June 23-25.

If the Seeker is being sold, they should put it in a museum. I agree, it is a great piece of diving history.
The $1,750 charter price pales in comparison to the gear that you would need to maximize your trip. It's one of those things that was magical when I was a kid in Connecticut - but now there's other places that I'd go first. I guess one of the huge attractions was collecting china and other souvenirs. I have had enough treasures pass through my hands so I don't need anything like this, although a few dozen bullion bars would be nice.
The Andrea Doria is settling down nicely, blending in with bottom more and more every year. I'd hate like hell to be the last diver she killed.

Oh, I agree with you on that one Tom... My deep dive instructor, who used to own Divers Incorporated in Ann Arbor Michigan, died diving The Andrea Doria. His name was Richard Roost, he was an excellent instructor and had thousands of dives under his belt. Diving there was a lifetime dream for him....the call of a siren I would liken it to...I won't be answering that call....I want to live to dive another day...
