Oriskany Dive - May 7, 2011

[MRXRAY]

I want to try #3 as an Anaglyph 3D photo. I'll try to put it up here as such after I've played with it a bit.

Here are a couple attempts at 3-D images. I don't hink I have the content or the pixel shiffting quite right yet, but it has a stunning affect as you move your head right and left in front of your monitor. If you want to see the effect you will need Red and Blue 3-D glasses reffered to as Anaglyph. Anything else like Real 3-D, or Red and Green will not work with this type of 3-D.

I'll play around with it some more and work at enhancing it a bit.

I think that is on the bow-side of the tower, just above the admiral's bridge.

I am super impressed!!!

I am also a videographer and am wondering what cam you use.

Also, did you get down to the flight deck at all? If not what was the depth you were at?

What was the current around the wreck itself. It looks very calm. I have heard it can be just flying at times.

One of these days!!!

I use a Canon G11, XRay uses a new Sony mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses, and obviously, a wide-angle lens/port

Did you get down to the flight deck at all? If not what was the depth you were at?

At the tower, the flight deck is at 145fsw

What was the current around the wreck itself. It looks very calm. I have heard it can be just flying at times.

Imperceptible current that day, most days it is manageable, but occasionally you'll get some heavy stuff.

One of these days!!!

No time like the present

Hetland hit it on the head. I was basically standing on the Nav Bridge looking back toward the tower at about 120 feet. I have a Sony Nex-5 in a Nauticam Housing with a 16mm lens and fisheye adapter on it. in a dome port.

The current was non-existatant which made for an awesome dive.

Although I don't shoot video and your pictures are better than mine I had a great dive with Capt Douglas and the H20 Below last Friday, May 13. I'm jealous of your water conditions. The ride out and the surface over the "O" was smooth but there was a screaming current down to about 30' and we had to pass through a layer of either oil dispersant or mud from the Mississippi river flooding, we never figured out which it was. I can say that my safety stops were not fun like yours. We had to hold on to the line with both hands to keep from being swept away and the vis was only a couple of feet thanks to whatever was in the water. The DM said that he had never seen a worse current there.

Once we got below 30', it opened up and looked just like your pictures. There was great vis and very little current on the wreck.

I can't say enough good about Capt. Douglas and the DM (Markus). They treated us like kings. My dive buddy wasn't feeling well after the first dive, so I buddied up with Markus. He took me on one heck of a tour both inside and outside of the ship.

I highly recommend this dive op to anyone wanting to dive the Oriskany!
