GD64 1 #3 January 29, 2015 oldwomanc6.............kinda surreal in a calming way. No worries about oil on the jumpsuit going front float on that baby. Thanks from me too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muff528 3 #4 January 29, 2015 Someone needs to organize a 40-way (scuba) dive out of that thing. Old-fashioned single-file, run-out exit and build a 40-way star. With video, of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lurch 0 #11 February 1, 2015 Rare experience I had about 10 years ago: There is a P3 Orion the navy lost out in the middle of Subic Bay sometime in the late 60's. The navy never found it. My Dad did. When he took me there he said there were maybe 4 people alive who had the GPS coordinates for this thing. He had it so accurate when we hit bottom at 140 feet the anchor line was maybe 5 feet from the wing. I stood on the tail surface gazing up at the tail itself, tripping balls on narcosis even breathing nitrox till I remembered I wasn't really supposed to stand on the bottom. Although standing on the wing of a plane, you aren't likely to get a stingray in the ankle. It takes some concentration to keep it together at that depth. The experience of nitrogen narcosis, to the uninitiated, is -exactly- like a real good nitrous oxide buzz you'd get at the dentist. You're dazed as hell, happy, definitely not thinking straight, but you're ok with it. Just as long as you remember you also happen to be at the bottom of the ocean and remain calm, you're cool. The sight of the tail of that thing looming out of the haze at the bottom will stay with me for the rest of my life. So far as I know my Dad took the secret of its location with him when he died. I've had a few adventures. That was one of the coolest. -BLive and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
