Cali Posted December 19, 2014 Author Posted December 19, 2014 That's crazy, as I'm still new to this and have only done shore dives in a harbor or area protected by a reef. I couldn't image 16kts, I guess that'll be a good drift dive...lol.

Alicatt Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 As I've been posting bits and pieces about diving around the Caithness coastline in Scotland, just reading a story on the BBC about another ship lost in this treacherous stretch of water, may the crew all find a safe haven. :( http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-30667084 A major search operation has been launched after a vessel overturned off the north of Scotland. Eight people are reported to have been on board the Cypriot-registered Cemfjord, a cargo ship carrying cement. The upturned hull was found by a passing ferry in the Pentland Firth. Four lifeboats, two rescue helicopters and other vessels are searching for the crew. Shetland Coastguard is co-ordinating rescue efforts. Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron

Cali Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Advance Open Water done! 5 dives over 2 days was fun, the night dive was very neat. On the wreck dive we saw WWI and WWII ship right next to each other, we could touch both of them. I'll post a few pictures later. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED

Kormoran was scuttled by her crew right after America entered World War I and the Toki Maru, which was anchored above Kormoran was sunk by an American submarine in World War II settling on top of it before sliding off. I dove that site back in 2001. Awesome dive. Congrats on your Advanced Open Water. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"

I turned it off last night with 3 bars and turned it on with no bars! Next dive I'll make sure that I put it on the charger the night before.
