EXPERIENCE LEVELS

Don't worry if you are new to wreck diving you are welcome. This wreck will satisfy ALL wreck enthusiasts tastes!!!!! There will be a lot of very experienced wreck divers on this trip too and the planning of penetration will be really well planned out to reduce any problems with people swimming into areas that are already inhabited with divers. If you are going to be penetrating the wreck you will need to be suitably trained and experienced and MUST have redundant air system for overhead environments .

I am glad to take people round the wreck on an orientation and also the more experienced through the wreck if there are requests for this.  This is with out a doubt one of the best ocean liner dives in the world. BETTER THAN THE COOLIDGE!!!!!! When you are  doing 90 minute penetrations with bugger all deco  - that's FUN!!!!!

any other enquiries contact Pete Mesley info@petemesley.com

DIVING

This is a great ship for all experiences. Basically the only rules on this trip is to dive within your training and experience. Your first trip will be really based on figuring out where the hell you are on the ship!! If you are deco trained then no worries with going into deco! We DO limit penetration to suitably trained divers with the right experience and redundant gear. No redundant air  - no penetration! I have a few pony bottles for hire also if need be. There are many places to venture safely within the 166m long wreck. For experienced divers we have specific briefings each dive to make sure that people will not be entering in places where other groups are diving. For safety reasons this will really cause havoc if a group drops in on top of another group exiting the same hole. We take this very seriously and with a little organization ensures everyone has a great experience over the  trip. !!!

We will be running two compressors so you wont need to wait long to get back into the water. !!!

BOOKING

$350 non refundable deposit to secure your place. ALL monies 10 weeks before trip goes. If you cant make the trip for some reason and can get someone else to come in your place then we can transfer your deposit. To secure your place for the trip contact me at the above email address. If you are using VISA there is a 4% surcharge (sorry  - visa companies screw us) and this trip there is no latitude to absorb these additional charges. Other than that just direct credit transfer, or bank cheque sent to me. Then we just focus on the diving!!

Looking forward to it!!
