We Are Planning To Dive This Famous Virgin Wreck.

News And Updates On My Website.
 
touch down on the virgin wreck of the "scandinavia" ex "stella polaris". lots of photos and video on our website.
 
A big well done guys. Glad to know that you all had a safe dive.

Just out of interest, what diluent were you guys using and what deco did you do.

Again , well done!:friday

thank you.

we calculated for the max. depth of -72 metrs with a safety for - 75 meters.

for this we used heliair 10/52 for a calculated bottom time of 30 minutes. this would give us a deco of about 1.5hrs.

in reality we dove a maximum of -67 meters which was the deck area. deco was then of course a bit shorter.
 
Excellent! Must have been a cracking dive. Hats off to you guys!! I really enjoy reading about these kinds of achivements.

We do those depths on a weekend basis using 15/55 for a bottom mix. Using ratio deco 1:2 and avg depth calculation , we get around the same ball park figure.

Read about my teams dive on the U-533 on this forum.

Keep diving, plenty, and most important-safe.

Best

yea - i think its the sexiest mask around the seven seas...

hehe

i discovered it some years ago at a beach south of tokyo. but didnt buy it that time. its a very cheap swim mask. 15$

i thought it cool and being back in europe i wrote to the company YASUDA which does this stuff. the boss himself then sent me a box of samples for free.

check out their website Š”Ž®‰ïŽÐˆÀ“cH‹ÆŠ.

this time around i went to osaka where the company YASUDA is based and mr. yasuda himself gave me a tour of the production facilities. all masks are handmade and i was told he made this design of the mask 40 years ago.

they can produce about 30 masks a day.

they do a lot of old style stuff which is very looked for by many water photographers as it cant be found no more at our side of the world.
