A couple of weeks ago I was approached with the idea of carrying a 90<br clear="none">
year-old WWII Vet to a wreck off the coast of New Jersey. He would like to<br clear="none">
see the USS Algol one last time. An attack cargo ship, he served on her<br clear="none">
during the war in the Pacific. She was sunk as an artificial reef a number<br clear="none">
of years ago.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
New Jersey wreck diving is not for sissies. When I've been wreck diving in<br clear="none">
the Atlantic, as I'm sure many of you have, you have an anchor line to get<br clear="none">
on the wreck and can get back to the boat via same. A submersible in the<br clear="none">
North Atlantic with a current ... and usually bad visibility ... mobile in<br clear="none">
three directions with no attachments ... Diving, if the viz stinks you can<br clear="none">
use a reel to get back and you avoid any underwater hazards easily enough.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The wreck is shallow, 70 feet to the super structure, 120 to the sand.<br clear="none">
Would be trivial to have support divers outside for most of the dive. But<br clear="none">
Jersey wreck diving in a K350. Mark Ragan and I mused about it. He's not<br clear="none">
interested. Which leaves me. I'm at about a 20% level of interest.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
At a minimum I think we'd need a boat with a crane. I can't imagine being<br clear="none">
towed out with a 90 year-old gent in the back and I can't imagine getting<br clear="none">
him into it while bobbing about anchored onto the wreck. Lifted and dropped<br clear="none">
in would be my preference.<br clear="none">
