Video I found

Its of 3 divers that do not seem to be Trimix cert diving the lakeland off of there boat. All 3 are on single 80's with no one deco bottle or redundant air. Only deco bottle is one at 20ft or so with on ID on it. At one point in the video there talking about the wreck they dived and one of them can not even get the name right. It looks to be he might have taken a hit. Look at the last 2 min and you can see one of them having problem holding a stop

You gotta love it.
The first give away is the lights they carried.
Hardly a frame they aren't throwing up billows with the finning.
Almost a constant stream of bubbles, so they aren't holding their breath.
Dragging computes and octo's is a nice touch.
Gotta love the stage rigging. Inflator hose and all. You just know it was valve opened the whole time they were down.
Having a beer after a 60 ft dive is one thing, but I am not sure after a 210 dive it is such a good idea, and I am not sure that was the first.
Someone will be reading about these guys if they don't get a clue.

I wonder if anyone can confirm they was really on the wreck they claimed to be. Some of their actions looked exaggerated, makes me wonder about the authenticity of the video.

MANY exaggerated actions. Methinks they are better actors than divers. ;)

No doubt, that is the Lakeland they are on. I never cease to find it amazing how narcosis can exaggerate someones actions... It is approximately 200 to the mud. When they are on the deck it is around 160 and the cars near the break are around 185. I have seen their videos before and have even had a bit of a roust with one of them about their documentation of ignorance. I was given the impression that they are not interested in listening...

It is bad enough that they living on borrowed time with these type of dives, but to promote this is completely irresponsible. Just what we need, another needless death causing some legislator to find a re-election boosting cause...

Tony and I dove on the Lakeland last summer, some of the video looked familiar. The wreck is at depths from 155 to 200ft. This video just goes to show you that there are stupid people out there.

STUPID!

my next question is, which dive op can get me there? I want to dive it too. Looks like a good dive, done properly, of course.

Dive off of Greg's boat with Shipwreck Adventures

[vtach67]

Greg runs a couple of trips a summer up there. Always a good time and don't forget "IT'S ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE WITH SHIPWRECK ADVENTURES". I'm sure there are other charters that will take you there but I think Greg is the best and most prepared for technical diving.

Will Greg allow you to hang one of those stroke-bottles from his boat for deco and/or emergency suit inflation? LOL!

As long as you wear the nipple on a necklace and a set of pink truck nutz....:D

[do it easy]

It just pains me to see this kind of stuff. I just can't imagine the kind of damage that these guys can do to a wreck.

Todd- you should paint those truck nuts black so that they are "technical"

[b1gcountry]

Diving it or anchoring on it?
