any news on her yet???

The "Big O " is set for may 17th , sinking . Why do you ask you coming over to dive it ?

Genesis · 4th May 2006, 22:56

May 17 is the date....

My understanding is that the 19th is the earliest they will permit diving on her. You can bet I'll be out there early and often.

Did someone say SCOOTER RACES along the flight deck?
