Description
Description
John Hanzl talks about technical diving and his experience diving on the Andrea Doria. The Andrea Doria is a mecca for treasure divers. It is commonly referred to as the Mount Everest of scuba diving. The depth, water temperature and currents combine to put the wreck beyond the scope of recreational diving. The skills and equipment required to successfully execute this dive, such as use of mixed gases and staged decompression, put it in the realm of only the most experienced technical divers.
