We dived the Oriskany on OC right after is was sank. What an awesome wreck. I can't wait to get back on her CC.

Re: USS Oriskany

In the last pic are you able to see your DIVA HUD?

Any comments on the Op you used and CCR friendly? Bottomtime? Max Depth? Temp?

Dove it last November and one thing I found useful was cutting a multi level dive plan. The sand is 210 ~ 215fsw. If you want to, say, see the props you can then later spend some time at 160 fsw in the hangar bays. The flight deck is 135 fsw, so a 3 level plan can be useful. Taking a look at required bailout you can structure your time such that a flood at the end of the 160 fsw segment is more or less the same as bailout gas required for a flood at the end of the 130 fsw portion. Your first deep stops can then be spent in the conning tower area.

Temps then were in the high 60s F w/ a thermocline ~ 5 F cooler at about 170 fsw. Buddy dove a 5 mm one piece wetsuit. I dove compressed 4mm neoprene dry w/ no thermals. He was a bit chilled on deco; I was fine.

The head lamps are S-Sun dive lights. They work pretty well, especailly for the price!
