August 2004 "Coolidge" stern dive.

The pictures are roughly in order as the divers descend down the midships buoy(01,02) and swim down to the stern (03 to 10).  Andrew (on air) remained at the level of the stern 5" gun (06) (60m).  Harry (trimix CCR) descended to the sand (07) (69m).  Dave our guide can be seen sensibly hovering a long way above the silly tourists.

We return swimming up the deck past the stern holds (11) lifeboat davits (14,16), through the Promenade deck (17 to 19) and make a visit to "The Lady" (19 to 22) (the observant among you will note that the "Lady" and bow pictures were actually taken on another dive).  

A swim across the starboard side of the bow (23 to 25), a quick drop into one of the bow cargo holds (26,27) and then off the bow (28) and up onto the coral slope for deco (29 to 32). 

Total runtime for Andrew on this dive including accelerated deco on EAN 60 was about 70 minutes.
