Its very possible they will get a few , i would have to say the main thing depend on the dive charters that go out there

D.A.N. can set up a shack and sell insurance by the dive.

"The Warrington dive shop MBT Divers is preparing a multimedia briefing on the Oriskany and plans to take certified advanced scuba divers there, owner Jim Phillips said.

Oriskany dives should not create too many problems because divers will be advanced, Phillips said."

LOL same old funny s**t, different day. Here's your AOW card, now go dive to the bilges of the Oriskany. It's OK, they're "advanced"

Thanks Florabama for digging out the article. Great to see that the panhandle is getting as excited about this as we are. What a kool opportunity to dive such a huge ship. I hope to dive the superstructure as soon as I possibly can.

I imagine that staring at the main deck and holds down below 130ft will be the best possible driver/temptation to take the "tech" step and develop my capabilities. What a superb opportunity we have to marvel at yet another treasure under the surface.
