Classes aboard the Seeker

[mstudley]

Has anyone out there taken classes through Undersea Exploration Inc. (ie. the Seeker)? I was interested in taking Nitrox and Adv. Nitrox/Deco through them but I haven't heard anything good or bad about their classes. The prices seem right though.

Looks like someone wants to hang out at the Abyss or the U-853 a tad longer. That would be a great way of doing the class.

Actually try this link. I had to go to the U.K. to get this link. I think thats the boat mentioned in Deep Descent.

Yes that's them and it is also the boat in the book Shadow Divers though ownership has changed since then. They are now based in Newport RI. Here is their website for those who are curious:

Oh yeah, the boat is rather famous and somewhat recently moved to Newport under new(ish) ownership. I'd love to go out on one of their charters (actually, I may do the 853 with them) and take some classes.

I did the cert dives for my Advanced Nitrox / Deco Procedures course with Mike Jensen, who now runs the SEEKER, and I highly recommend him. He was very professional, very thorough, and an excellent teacher. I would gladly do more training with him.

Thanks for the input everyone. It looks like I am going to do my Nitrox class with them sometime soon and Adv. Nitrox/Deco sometime next year.
