diving Mt. Everest (the SS Andrea Doria)

[8dust]

You have to be pretty manly to get this excited over a 12 piece place setting with an oriental print and gilded rim ...

below is a link to a very cool slide show by way of Admiral Campoli, who I believe has dove the wreck himself at least once.

Lots of behind the scenes photos of major "tonnage." Fans of Fatal Depth, Setting The Hook, Last Dive, Deep Descent, and of course Shadow Divers will particularly enjoy. The Wahoo is the "other boat" that was in frequent competition with the Seeker over the wreck site.

Thanks for sharing, Bernie.

Thanks for posting. There are some vintage tanks in the first B/W and an MR-12 II at 1:20.

It's becuase of diving that I've become a bit of a bottle and dish connoisser. And someday it would be nice to pull as epic a prank as the inventory grate, the sign from which is in your slide show:

Here's Chatterton take:

As a kid I remember the TV news reports of the sinking and Peter Gimbel's dive on it days after the sinking. Diving the Doria is my unfulfilled dream dive.
