This is from MBT Divers in P'Cola, but I think that all the dive shops got together to come up with a set of minium rules for divers using their shops to dive the Oriskany.
Posting here as I'm sure people have been wondering what the "rules" will be.
Oriskany Dive Ops
The following specifics for dive operations for trips to the USS Oriskany have been established, and we are now taking bookings! Please remember, we do not own the boats, and all charter fees and policies are set by the captains.
- Price per person for a 2 tank/ 2 dive trip to the USS Oriskany is $145, payable at time of booking. There is a 48 hour cancellation policy no refunds will be given for diver cancellation within 48 hours of the trip. Fees for trips cancelled by the captain will be refunded.
- Tanks and weights are not provided, but can be rented at MBT Divers.
- All divers wishing to dive the USS Oriskany must have a minimum of 20 logged dives.
- Openwater Divers that do not possess an advanced certification or a deep diver specialty certification:
- Must have completed a total of 20 logged dives
- Will be required to dive with a guide.
- Must have completed 2 logged dives within the last year or complete a refresher dive.
- Advanced Divers or those with deep diver specialty certifications:
- Must have completed 2 logged dives at or below 80 in the last year to dive without a guide.
- Must have completed 2 logged dives within the last year to dive with a guide.
- Divers must have the following equipment:
a. Alternate air source
b. safety sausage or similar marker device
c. whistle
d. gloves

- Technical diving is permitted only on specially scheduled trips or with private booking. Additional charges will apply for tech divers.
Any of the information provided above is subject to change at any time.
Call ASAP to book - trips are going to go fast
