Hey all,
interesting discussion here. the dsv was closed, FULLY. all of the teams involved checked this. There are several places along this dive plan that involve scraping through. This would lead to the opv in question dragging through the silt or sand(mostly sand). 3 days after the recovery, I still had questions and decided to go a little further than where we conducted the recovery. The passage was tight, but back mountable. I then entered a room(where the unit was reported to be removed and stowed) with a low ceiling . depending on where it was removed would dictate yet another scrape. The floor was complete silt and at this point i realized what a complete mess Mark had probably returned to.
