Team Doria. The Andrea Doria is quite often called the "Mount Everest of Diving". At 240' it's not necessarily that deep, but like Everest, it's the conditions that are dangerous. Lots of current, a big wreck (700' long), which is laying on its side, and in poor viz. 15 divers have perished diving the Doria, including one only two weeks after we dove it.
Update (April 2010): Capt Joseph Terzuoli (4th from left) died diving the wreck of the Texel (a Dutch Steamer lying at 200' after being sunk by a German U-Boat in 1918) less than a year after taking our group out to the Andrea Doria. |
