divers in the world. Deepimage commercial cameramen

over a decade, only recently have they been qualified
legally under the UK Health & Safety legislation
to offer their skill and expertise to a commercial value.

Lust for Rust 2011
Pete Mesley recently ran the
first of his expeditions to the famous Truk Lagoon on
the Islands of Chuuk in Micronesia. This was a dedicated
rebreather project to experience the famous diving location
using closed circuit rebreather's and thus extending
the bottom times of the dives dramatically. One weeks
diving in Truk on closed circuit is the equivalent to
5-6 weeks on open circuit. To make travel logistics
easier for the divers Mesley shipped in his own fleet
of cylinders and zorb which he now stores out in Chuuk.
On a daily basis the team of over 24 CCR divers explored
most of the deep wrecks (60-70m depth range) as well
as spending an afternoon 2 hour + dive on the shallower
wrecks. 20-40m depth range. A full report will be coming
soon both to deep image and Pete Mesley .com. Next years
expedition is already being planned to further explore
deep inside some of the less explored wrecks. For more
information contact Leigh Bishop
(click here) the European organiser and logistics
manager for Pete Mesley who is New Zealand based. If
you would like to experience Truk Lagoon using your
CCR with us then please contact us. Thousands of images
and hundreds of hours of High Def video were shot and
are currently being processed.
Report
and more information coming soon.

Bullion
Ocean Liner gets its own website
Lying at the bottom of the Ocean is
the bullion wreck RMS Laurentic off the North Coast
of Ireland. Still to this day the wreck holds the record
for the most amount of bullion ever recovered from a
shipwreck. Lying in only 39m this wreck is a popular
site for scuba divers visiting Donegal Ireland. Now
for the first time the wrecks owner Mr Des Cossum has
commissioned a website entirely devoted to the wreck.
