Great article! As much as I would love the chance to dive a virgin wreck, I will never go to 400 feet for it!

I was using a Silent Submerge N-19 and my buddy was using a Muscato Special (homebuild).
Cheers,
Mike

Mike, congrats on the verification, I'm sure all of those families of the men that were lost can rest a bit easier knowing the final resting place of their kin. Outstanding technical diving.

Regards,

Pete
