pat & i just back from wreck diving in bikini atol in the marshall islands. it doesnt get any better. world class wreck diving. i blew an ear drum on the saratoga which is an experience i never want to repeat. pat got to dive all the wrecks. the saratoga is awesome. interesting diving protocol they use. straight air bottom mix and then 75% surface supplied at 30, 20 and 10. i was concerned about this as average depth is 175'. but they have an had over 800 divers come thru there and have only had 1 dcs hit of which diver recovered fully. i shipped in helium as my end is about 100' and wanted to be clear headed. anyone interested in what it is like we will be showing a great video of it at cal wreck divers meeting in november. if you are a wreck diver or just dive wrecks its the place to go
