Finally got around to a joint dive with Edward Stefik for a lost chain from a year ago. Despite 6 hours of bottom time using arcs, circles and jack stays, we weren’t able to find the chain, but we did manage to find multiple phones, a pair of sunglasses and a fishing line. My full video was uploaded to YouTube of my first dive. Let me know what you think!

Great visibility helped easily find these doors. Days like today make having great buoyancy super important because you can easily spot the objects you’re looking for before mucking up the bottom. I easily spotted the doors, and less easily got them tied up, doffed my dive gear at the surface, tied it to the dock, pulled myself up, pulled the door up, got back in the water and donned my gear again before repeating. After two dives I can say Mission Accomplished! Full dive video will be on YouTube!

We’re getting good at these black water recoveries!

We had another lost phone last night. As you can tell it was a dark one, but that doesn’t stop us from taking the call! We’re happy to be able to say Mission Accomplished!

Went diving for one phone the other day and came up with two! I also found a nice tool and a chair that I was able to recover! The whole, raw video can be found on our YouTube channel! Let me know what you think! The link to this video is in the description!

Fun little dive in the Buffalo River for a phone! Dives like these made me love recording them. Most divers wouldn’t even consider diving in water this murky and I couldn’t believe I could read my computer at depth! Glad we could help and as always… MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Sorry I haven’t been as good about uploading videos of diving. I’ve been making a bunch for work for a different project and that’s taken a bunch of my time, but I did want to share this one. Sometimes my job takes me where very few others have been. In this case it was the Edward M Cotter which was due for a hull cleaning! I should have done a better job going back and forth under the hull and for a cool shot of the prop, so expect that video as soon as I can!

Throw back to an exploratory dive I did to learn an area around a dock.

While I was out looking for a rudder, I accidentally stumbled upon what looks like an old barge wreck! What do you think it looks like?
