First Dives Carl D. Bradley Stern

[Freedive WI]

Thanks John, that was the kind of info I was looking for.

I don't want to turn it into a DIR thing either. Although that's the way I choose to (scuba) dive, I still fine it interersting to see how you go about planning, and executing, these dives. Since you bottom times were so much longer than the OC guys, and you got photos on top of it, there must be something to it.

I also heard Greg mention that you were the most 'squared away' rebreather divers he's ever met- I guess this must be true or he wouldn't have taken you there. That's why I'd like hearing your take on planning vs. some of the other versions of bailout that I've heard of.

Maybe you can say a little about the vis and if you had enough to use scooters next time- that would be really cool for a wreck that big! My father-in-law has his video camera system mounted on his Gavin so that he can shoot video 'on the fly' while he zooms around the wreck. It would be neat to see something like that on the Bradley- if there's enough vis that is.
