Governor this Thursday and Friday

All--

I've been a fly on the wall to some of the planning Richard, Jeanna, Brian and Nick have been doing for their attempts on the Governor this Thursday and Friday. An excellent history of this wreck has been put together by Dan and his crew:

SS Governor.

Here is what I know--I thought it might be fun to put up a discussion for people to ask questions ahead of time (and, in the case of those like Dan that have been on it, provide some wisdom).

I've chatted with the crew that is doing the dives, they may pop on here and answer as they can--seems like there is just a wee bit of planning on this one.

Plan as I know it:

Four divers, Richard, Brian, Jeanna and Nick.

15/55, with 35/25, 50% and O2 for deco. The 35/25 keeps rock bottom manageable.

25 minutes of bottom time, 210 fsw average. I'll let them discuss deco a bit and gas decisions as well--that is beyond my training by a bit to say the least.

I know they've been busy filling larger (95s and 119s) sets of doubles for a while, I think they've taken the approach of having fills done ahead of time for both days for everything except some of the deco gases.

Nick flies in Wednesday, they meet the Dash in Keystone Thursday AM. Have clearances to dive Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon. If people have questions/comments/thoughts, feel free to post them here and I'm sure they'll be answered . . . .

Yes. a huge thanks to all who helped -- I think RJack got most people listed. I will work up the video this week and try to get it posted. I didnt get much on the wreck but I think I can use quite a bit of what I did get.,

Thanks hugely to Mel & Casey for their support -- without them we simply would have not got in the water on time.

Also huge thanks to DiveX for the cuda --- this thing is a horse, and can drag my stupid-sized housing around like it wasnt there.

Also to other people who have been on this wrec & offered their help, thoughts & wisdom -- this took a LOT of planning, and we just about pulled it off!!
