Thanks MHD,

I think that between you (MHD), Damon, Jason L and Hungry should formulate a cunning plan while you guys are in Truk together to get a boat load of CCR divers onto the wreck this Winter.

thats assuming there is something left other than a brown rust stain after the current crop of cyclones

It wouldn't surprise me... I flew into TSV Friday lunchtime, and just got home (and I mean... JUST) tonight... wasn't looking too pretty for a while there, the airport closed at 8pm last night, and wasn't officially re-opened till late tonight... My original flight was cancelled.

I have NEVER EVER seen weather like what I saw yesterday and today. Words just can't describe what a Cat5 cyclone looks / sounds like!

Certainly not something I ever want to experience again... and we were just on the tip of it... Having seen footage from Innisfail, its not pretty.

Anyways, back on subject... I've done quite a few trips out to the Yongala (surprise surprise, all dives were cancelled this weekend!) with a couple of the operators, and they really really weren't too keen on the idea of having a breather on the boat.

Tubby, or maybe the new guy at Yongala Dive (as referrenced by Jason and MHD) would be your only options. I know Tubby does all his diving off a private boat (hence, can't dive the Yongala, but there are plenty of other good dives in the area...)

Good luck with it, and let us know how you go...
