| 2006 BRITANNIC expedition
An international team of divers recently concluded this year's memorable expedition to the White Star Olympic Class liner HMHS BRITANNIC, sistership of the RMS TITANIC.
It was a great experience diving with old friends and meeting many new ones as well. Due to a wide variety of issues, we only got in three days of diving, with an additional day to set the mooring. For those that have aspirations to dive this remarkable wreck, an article will be appearing in Wreck Diving Magazine discussing the various events; it should prove to be a VERY interesting piece. Hopefully, two History Channel documentaries will also appear in the future featuring the HD footage captured on the wreck.
Prior to the trip, a BRITANNIC veteran told me this wreck will ruin me forever for diving. Having done two dives on the wreck, I fear he may be correct. The BRITANNIC truely is breathtaking and nothing really compares -- nothing.
I have added a slideshow of various images taken during the expedition (sorry no underwater images) to the AUE website on the trip reports section.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
