Boris Size

Nad · 17th October 2005, 07:25

I just came back from some wreck dives, in Genua, Italy. Sunny, hot, great viz but...I was with a group of "tank users" so not very long dives...

The first one was on the VLCC Milford Haven. Descended to the main deck at around 54 m then up. I did penetration in the structure, not as I would like to do because of the other guys, but enough to discover that Boris just look a bit bigger but actually no problem everywhere.
During the ascent I met the "tankers" doing their deco and finally I was on the boat in time with them.

The second dive was on a mine destroyer lying upside down on the sandy bottom.
The guys on the boat described it as difficult to penetrate because of the really small passages. I made it trough an hole that was really small then I swam between the engines and other small passages without problems. It was a great site for pictures but I discovered that I did already shot all of them.

Well my bailout and Boris back cover didn't look so new before, but now they're a bit in bad shape.

However this wasn't a big exploit but it is just to tell everyone that Boris just look big in reality it is great! Don't be scared about the size.

Best,

Nad

Morning Nad, good story !

Got better one: when doing the course with Kev and Phil in Egypt last springtime we were doing skills on a wreck and after the exercize we used to swim around the structure of the wreck, not being yet certified on Boris we were not alowed by Boss (aka KG) and Gollum (aka PS) to penetrate the wreck !

But as you can imagine being such Bad boys we did penetrate the wreck, and sometimes in tiny holes forcing our way through. So coming back on the boat we've been told off by Boss and Golum

but we were wondering how they knew about it ??? in fact it was all the scratch on the back of the units who betrayed us

Have a good day
