Congratulations to Matt Reed and Mike Taylor, my tech instructors, on their very successful dive expedition to dive the Princess of the Orient this past weekend. It is located just outside of Manila Bay hers in the Philippines. They are two of only 10 people to ever dive on this 120M deep ship and the first team to explore the bow. Two teams made two dives each.
I was invited along to take some photos which will be included in an upcoming article so I can't post too many here. My max depth was only about 50M so I have photos of decent and deco but Matt has some impressive video of the wreck, right up to the bow. Conditions were just about perfect for this trip on Rags II, very little current and almost calm seas.

And of course me, taken by another support diver, upside down with a couple of used stage bottles...
