RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Reserve buoyancy
Jon,
An exiting story it is!
The request came from a contact of Carsten. We could run a professional
diving expedition to the wreck of the "garibaldi". Minor point: we only had
a few weeks to prepare! So we add outside ballast, anodes and instruments
needed for the mission in between our normal jobs.
At the last possible moment Stephan and I set of for the 2000KM+ trip.
We were welcomed by the archaeology group and worked with pleasure with
them.
First day we spend with testing the UW telephone and deeptest (yes, manned
deeptest. No worries Stephan, I buildt it myself). Pity the crane of the
very nice research ship could not lift the sub so some time was lost by
towing the sub at max. 4 Kts. The next 4 days we go to the wreck making a
total of 7 dives. Most special dive was with the historian Boris Gol who
discovered the wreck. He is no diver and was really exited to go down.
Last day there was too much wind for open sea so we did some fun and test
dives in a bay.
So afterwards we have all a big smile that the new designed sub performed so
good and the researchers got their data.
Regards, Emile

Emile,
What's the story, behind the story? Can you tell us how you came to be
involved with this project?
It looks really interesting and could be inspiring to others who own subs.
