Great read and quite an accomplishment. Congratulations.

Congratulations. It is a great dive. If you got two in you are one above the average.

Very good write up! Thanks for sharing.

I'll be diving the SS Wisconsin in Lake Michigan this Sunday. Simple NDL dive to 120' max. I'll pretend I'm seeing the Doria coming into view through the murkiness as I descend. ;-)

Congrats on achieving that dream.

Very nice trip report! It was the best I've read, on any board, in a number of years. Congratulations on ALL of your efforts that enabled you to do this kind of dive and a huge CONGRATS on the 2 dives themselves!! Well done!!!

He is unbelievable. I dove the S5 with him a few weeks back on a private boat, so I knew about your Doria trip coming up. He was scheduled to hit the doria for several weeks straight (weather pending). If there is a way to get to something, he has found it. Portholes, Steam Whistles, you name it. He's about as good as it gets and has a famous bloodline in Doria diving!

Yes:Mike Dudas has a good bloodline on diving the Doria. His Father a renowned diver and his great Mother Evie.

Your planning and preparation, with a likewise dedicated buddy, are in their way even more impressive than the Doria dives themselves. Not only well done, but done right (in terms of planning and disciplined preparation). Very glad you guys accomplished your goal.

Richard.
