Okay, I think there might be a little confusion on what I meant by penetration of the Yukon. I know there are entanglement issues, and I'm not comfortable going full inside the hull on a single tank without at least a pony bottle and especially with 80s they give you if you rent. What I'm talking about are the structure that sits outside the main deck. Which, because it's on it's side amounts to many walkways and rooms that end up with no real overhead structure. Meaning I can be on top of one, and drop straight through one big hole and out the other side or vice versa.
 
You had me scared for a minute there:D I thought you guys were planning a full scale, hallway, room, compartment type penetration , with the reel talk and all:D

Yes, there is a cargo loading bay that you can drive a bus though. These make great swim throughs. The wreck sits at an angle to one side, which makes for some interesting deck exploration. The ship is not completely on it's side, so most of the halls, and rooms, are at weird angle. Not straight down. There is a lot to see!

Ths is going to be a great trip.

Got my ticket so I'm going.

Can't wait.

All right my dive partner has his ticket now :D This will be a fun trip :)
 
her highest point is at 65ish and her lowest is at 105-110 depending on tide.


Rick, with the reel talk, I was saying I would lay it even for the big hole for comfort sake. I wasn't planning on a full on, let's go explore pitch black rooms penetration! I just meant swim through the swiss cheese outer parts! It's like a playground!

I've dove it 7 times in the last 6 weeks or so, so I'm pretty familiar with the outer big rooms and swim throughs, but I was gonna lay line since others may not be so comfortable.

I could just use the practice of laying line. I haven't done it since i got my cert

Great! That will help. I can't wait until this trip takes place. Lots of cool places to check out.

Josh, What is the other wreck like?
