The documentary of when they sank it was a great watch. It’s interesting to see how it’s changed since then. Lots of life there

Utterly terrifying in a fascinating way...

I sailed on the Big O 67, 68, 69. Lots of memories, some of them really good, many not so much. Best wishes to the men of "OI" Division.

what a dive! hopefully the coral will grow more! love seeing the carrier and can only imagine seeing it in person!

Great video! I was expecting to see more fish, but the barnacles look like that are enjoying it at least.

Great dive video Lance. Looking forward to doing this dive soon!

In 1969 we did WESTPAC Vietnam and sailed 207 days with 104 fires. I kept expecting those divers to open a hatch and find smoldering rags in one of those spaces YET!!! USS ZIPPO!! RIP!!!!

A 30000 tons giant carrier that has been there on the bottom for 15 years... Can’t imagine how big she is. It also shows that the corrosion is happening on this ship by years and years because those holes on the deck and bridge are much bigger than before, on the previous footage of this wreck.

Out of interest, why did you choose to ascend when you did? It looked like you still had lots of air remaining, and also once you ascended your NDL was above 12 (newer diver looking to learn here!).

As for the NDL question - your NDL number will increase as you ascend and your depth becomes shallower because you're off-gassing the absorbed nitrogen in your tissues as you ascend. Sometimes you'll incur actual decompression obligations at depth and they'll clear by the time you make an ascent to that stop depth at the appropriate rate (30fpm is wise). I just had that happen to me a few weeks ago diving in Lake Mohave in Arizona - we spent the bulk of the dive at 50-60 feet but descended to 85 while looking for a particular wreck, and I incurred a short obligation - by the time we found one of the smaller wrecks we were looking for around the 40 foot mark and got bored with it, that deco obligation had cleared itself and I was back to having an NDL in the 20-something minute range.

Looks like you are in a dry suit. What is the temp and what time of year was this?

The Oriskany was docked for 30 years after she was decommissioned in 1976. Besides being stripped for parts to support the museum carriers, there was not much else done other than to remove toxic insulation and paint before she was sunk! IE, she was already severely rusted before she was scuttled in the Gulf. The early dive footage I saw showed rust coming off pipes, valves, etc. inside the interior of the her hull. I think that footage was shot within 5 years of the sinking. There might be another 30 years before she suffers a structural collapse -- who knows, really. That will depend on the weather and current. It's out of our hands unless they decide to remove the ship (salvage) after all but I doubt that will happen. I think if the ship DID collapse/break, the pieces might be swept further by a future hurricane. The hulk of the ship already shifted once after one hurricane.

Most of the benefit of buddies admittedly disappears once you start diving completely redundant equipment with stages. Unless he flat out has a panic attack or a heart attack, or starts seizing... any other issue he should (in theory of course) be able to handle and make a safe ascent by himself. Not saying I would make a habit out of doing it (especially in deep open water like this) but my deepest solo dive was 141 feet with a 61 minute runtime including deco...

I thought there'd be a lot more marine life there

It's probably a VERY GOOD thing it's that deep. Do you know how many knuckleheads could get killed going into the interior of the hull? It's dark and easy to get lost in those compartments! The depth encourages the foolhardy to stay away. Only trained and experienced divers can go the bottom. They'll also follow decompression standards because how many ordinary people bother to read instructions for most of their home appliances?!?

And dont ever hold your breath while ascending but if your chilling around the same depth and just checking the sights, then a slower controlled breathing pattern will help you save a little air which gives a little more time.
