Dive the Oriskany and get some serious bottom time! Spend some time on the flight deck and decrease your narcosis! Do this dive the safe way!! The Advanced Recreational Trimix Course is the perfect course to get you to the flight deck of the Oriskany and allow you to spend time there. This course trains you to complete dives to 160 fsw with a decompression up to 15 minutes on 100% oxygen at a 1.5 PO2. After this course you will be prepared to do a 21 minute dive on the flight deck of the Oriskany. If your gas consumption allows it, you can extend the dive time by spending some time on the tower during your ascent with just you and your buddy. Get away from the crowds on the tower and do this dive like it should be done! Click the link above for more information on the course.
Little River 11/26/08 -
Finally got a chance to get back into Little River! The park is still being maintained by the county with hours from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and 7am to 7pm on weekends. Check the sign in the lot to confirm these times because it looks like they change them occasionally.
Little River was closed to diving for several weeks this year and it wasn't known if it would clear up for diving again before the end of the year. Well it has, but it's still recovering from the floods we had in the spring. Visibility in the system was in the 40-60' range and flow wasn't all that bad. I was with a Basic level class so we only got back to Table Rock, but I doubt things changed much beyond that. Water temperature was 70 degrees and air temperature for us was in the high 60s.
Had a great time and looking forward to getting back into Little River soon!
