Awesome Dive Weekend

Hi...I'm Gary A. Cresswell, President of Critical Aspect Incorporated. I am also the inventor of the innovative Pterodactyl Backplate/Harness System. This product is endorsed by John Chatterton. On May 7, 2006 I dove with John aboard The Seeker out of Newport, R.I. on the wreck of the U-853 (130 feet). It was an awesome dive...warm, sunny weather and a relatively calm sea. There was excellent visability and no current on the bottom. Bottom Temp. was 45 Degs. It was a real treat to dive from such a famous dive boat and in the company of John Chatterton and Richie Kohler. What more would one want? The U-853 is an awesome wreck to see. I am currently only basic Nitrox certified and I have recently added a second stage bottle. On this dive, I dove with air in my twin back tanks, Nitrox 28 in my left stage bottle and Nitrox 40 in my right stage bottle. While on the wreck, I switched to my left stage bottle once my back tanks were down to 1,500 PSI and headed-back to the anchor line and "hung-around" until I had achieved a 20 foot ceiling on my air computer (28 minutes). Then I began my ascent. At 80 feet I switched to my right stage bottle and continued to 20 feet for Deco. Can't wait to return!
