I'd be happy to participate, though I don't think I should dive it. I don't own a rebreather, and 400' is a bit beyond my comfortable range in the open circuit mode. Gas management with those sorts of exposures becomes a logistical headache for anything other than a quick bounce to depth. Closed circuit gear is definitely the better choice for that dive, but that's a few years and several thousands of dollars away for me.<br><br>That said, I do have experience as a commercial ROV pilot / technician, and am happy to help out in any other way. Did you reach out to the UASBC?<br><br>Brian is living out in that area now, yes? I ran into him at an Edmonton dive shop a year or so ago, but we haven't dived together in decades.<br><br>Sean<br><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On Oct. 31, 2020, 09:54, hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles < personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><br><html><head></head><body><div class="ydpe6e12d35yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div></div>

It was carrying all the furniture and fixtures for a new Saloon in New Denver, so I am told anyways. This has been a long time dream for me to visit the wreck. Brian Nadwidney is super into it also. He has hired ROV company to look at it, but weather is always a problem. Plus the viz was real bad. You are welcome to join us. The wreck is just under 400 feet. I will explore the debris trail also.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hank</div><div><br></div>
