One dive left
If you could only do one more dive in your life time what would it be? For me it would be the Saratoga in Bikin Atoll. What would yours be?

Re: One dive left
Before anyone starts thinking about the Fitz, they should check out the new law Canada just passed.
I am sure it will be challanged in court but, for now they can fine you up to one million dollars for "disturbing" an archiallogical site. The law was aimed at the Fitz. and other shipwreck sites. Granted that is one million Canadian dollars but still. |

[/quote] Lon-- It's on my wish list, but no plans at this point. It's been quite entertaining over the years though hearing all the hype every time I even mention the possibility of thinking about of diving on it.  I once had a well-known diver and charter captain tell me that the Canadian Coast Guard is maintaining hydrophones on the wreck to detect bubble noises from divers in case anyone attempts diving on it. I'd like to try some of the stuff he's smoking.  I personally think all the hype stems from some people's perceived competitive threat from other divers out there, which is just silly because the Fitz has already been dived, so whoever dives it next will not be doing "a first".  The amount of politics in the tech diving world is unbelievable. It's perpetual absurdity.

Re: One dive left
Fitz would definitely be the number 1...but since that has already been listed I'll go with the Hamilton and Scourge
 That is if the Mounties aren't patrolling the area...I bet the horses get tired > 
Don't believe the hype!

There is always a way around the crap polititions do, and what does disturding mean (distroying, touching, penetration, or what). Anyone know where it is on the net.
Go Big, or go home!
