Sea Hunter III

This is the Sea Hunter III, the vessel that will take us out on our trip to the Doria this year.

Load-Out 1

A trip to the Doria wouldn't be a Doria trip unless you take a ton of gear along. We loaded up the boat with tons of tanks, scooters and other equipment to make our dives on this wreck.

Load-Out 2

Just to make things even we load out this side of the boat with just as much stuff. Sleepy surveys the lock-down as we prepare to get under way.

Scooter

Tami pets her scooter impressed with the fact that it is bigger than all the other boys'.

Tie-In

Here is where we were tied into the wreck. Very little sunlight was penetrating to the depth of the wreck. It is almost impossible to distinguish this dive from a night dive.

Rigging

A diver explores the wreck around some rigging.

Crab

A crab hangs out on the deck.

Lobster

A lobster hangs out under some pieces of wreckage.

Reel

We located this Dive-Rite Explorer reel on the bottom and recovered it. As it turns out, one of the crew on our boat had lost it years earlier.

Hake

A startled hake swims out into view of the camera.

Explore

My buddy Tami and I explore the wreck.

Treasure

A few items brought back from the Doria wreck.

This is a piece of first class china that I recovered.

Window

This is me with the Ledo Deck window that I recovered from the Doria. Mike Barnett helped in the recovery effort.
