Spiegel Grove tec or rec?

[sharko108]

I did several runs with Horizon right after my 50m tech certification, so plans were pretty cautious. Runtimes varied with depth, but deco was consistently at 20 mins on O2. On one dive, I did enjoy checking out the massive cargo hold (?) at 135 ft for about 5 mins, and that dive had about 45 mins on the wreck itself. We had planned for 60 mins on the wreck that time, but I got emotional at the Snoopy tiles and wanted to end on that note.

Basically, going tech realistically opens up the deeper sections, gives redundancy in the extended swim through / overhead sections, and means you don't have to rush. You can finish up at similar areas as the rec divers (70-90 ft) without the faff of boarding, waiting an hour, and re-descending. The down side, obviously, is the deco time on the line, but even as a rec diver, I'd spend at least 10 mins at the two safety stops. There's stuff to see, however, and no need to talk to anyone (which is actually a plus for me ).

Ok thanks i think i will go for the Tec dive , as i also want to take experience in that kind of deco dive , especially with wrecks
And yes i hope to do some dive through haha

Sharko108, we can totally work out a plan that will maximize your bottom time. Most of our technical guides have really good SAC rates, so they will run to your max BT. If you're looking for some extra time we can coordinate optimum gas like 34% if you want to stay in the super structure and shallower than 100'. We can also set you up with an additional AL40 or 80 with bottom gas if you're really looking to get every minute out of it.

Typically we are on the wreck for 140 minutes from "Pools Open" to leaving. OC guys with a SAC rate of < .6 cuft can get 50-70 minutes total run time depending on the profile. If your SAC is < .4 cuft we can probably get 70-90 minutes. And with an additional bottle 100 minutes isn't hard.

Deco time is really determined by our depth. If we keep dives in the super structure, which is 70' - 100' we'll spend more time in the wreck than we will on deco. If we're in the sand or doing an Adv Wreck dive the deco will stack up a bit more, and we'll be playing rock paper scissors on the line for a bit. I can do 60 minutes bottom time while working my way through the super structure, and keep the deco to less than 10 minutes.

I don't make promises, but we do have some steel LP85s that might be available depending on what's going on when you're down. If you really want a workout I have a set of LP108s and HP117s you are more than welcome to haul up the ladder

Shoot me a DM. I'm more than happy to work a plan out with you as the dates get closer.
