Diving the Adelaide
Alan and I went up to the HMAS Adelaide and dived mild spring day. Using Nitrox 38% our maximum depth was 34m with a bottom tome of 40+ minutes.

Twin tanks - paraplegic scuba diving
I went to the Solomon Islands with John Black from Maroubra in Sydney and dived the USS Aaron Ward in Tulaghi. It was warm and clear in the water, even on the bottom in 75 metres.
I was diving on air using twin 88's which I put on in the water. I didn't use a deco meter instead I used a set if tables based on Dr Buhlman's formulas. The other members of the trip dived a second wreck each day in 50 metres which I thought was a bit risky so I sat out the second dive.
While I was there a lady in our group got a spinal bend and had to be airlifted out.
Watch the attached videos and you will see John's terrific vision of the wreck and also a video of me swimming around the deco lines on top of the shipwreck. On my first dive my weight belt fell of at 10 metres so I continued to the bottom and put on the belt - it was easy to find because of the clarity. I had meant to go to only 50 metres to acclimatise - sounds were echoing in my ears as I started to get very powerful narcosis.
John also penetrated the wreck right into the laundry. This was very brave because the internal structure collapse when you bump them creating clouds of red water that obscure everything

SS Kelloe and Duet
This is me diving on the Kello - a happy fiasco - the Kello is in 50metres of water about 2 miles from my house.
You can see more info about the Kello at this site
