How many on here are Scuba Divers. I am looking to try and put together a trip to dive the USS Oriskany later this summer. If you dive let us know and if your interested in the trip let me know that too.

I am certified as an open water diver, I am working on advanced diver certification. We are working (Dive team at work) with Adventure Diving in Bristol TN. I would be interested in a trip some place. Not sure where the place is you mentioned in the post, but I might have about 6 others that would be interested.

The Oriskany is off the coast of Pensecola Florida. It is the only divable aircraft carrier to be turned into a reef. What kind of dive team are you with (Sheriff Deptartment?). I ran a voluteer search and recovery dive team in Alabama for 12 years, I would give anything to be able to make a living in the search and rescue field. It is so hard to get into anything like that around here, nobody cares about experiance. All they want is to see that pieace of paper that says some guy or girl with no real world experiance thinks that you are smart enough to do the job. Ok flame off now. I am looking for all the people I can find to dive with so the more the better. I have a 12 passenger van so car pooling down there will not be a problem.

My parents have been diving for 5 years now. They go on 4 or 5 trips a year. They've gone all over Florida and the Carolina coast, the Bahamas and Cozumel... but all they talk about is their last trip to the Oriskany.
