Well so far I have had one person contact me that is interested in and capable of doing the equipment salvage dive and right now we are going to be working on planning it out for next month.
I'm just going to stress again to those divers involved or anyone else for that matter that has the idea in their head of trying to retrieve the equipment, please think twice before you do something stupid. If you are not qualified to properly execute a 160ffw dive and do it safely DON'T DO IT. If you don't know how to do light salvage properly DON'T DO IT. If you don't know how to swim a proper search pattern. DON'T DO IT. If you don't have experience/training in any of those areas DON'T DO IT.
We don't need another news story about a diver getting themselves killed over a couple of stage bottles. So unless you are qualified to do the dive to retrieve the equipment, leave it be.
If you would really like to be involved and want to help out with the planning and support or want to just be there for it then by all means please get ahold of me.
Dive Safe,
