USS Oriskany - Pensacola

[dgrow]

We are planning a technical diving trip to the USS Oriskany off the coast of Pensacola, FL. If you have done this dive site as a technical dive, I'd be interested in what dive operator you used and if you were happy with them.

Thanks in advance,

DG

I used Down Under out of Gulf Shores. They are were great, very accomodating to tech divers and the larger boat made for a smooth ride.

We just returned from a trip to the O. We used Viking - small boat that genrally takes 4 tech divers max. However, he did go out when all of the other operations cancelled because of weather. It was rough but worth it.

Have used Down Under twice, with great experiences both times.

I am about to do a technical dive next week on the O. I am not Trimix certified, but Tec 50 so depth will be limited to 145. What are are people planing their dive?
This is what I am thinking.

Dive # 1, VPM-B/E +2
Elevation = 0 ft
CNS = 39%
OTU's = 91
Gas 25 = 153 cuft.

The only reason I'm bring 2 deco gases is contingency.
