Divers Sharm el Sheikh ::: Project Yolanda |
Project Yolanda
they called it, that is, the mad tech divers from
Sharm. A one week project onboard Diavola started
on 22nd of May with preparations of Equipment and
dive plans. And a Check dive to 80M!!! With search
and rescue staff on board and a doctor standing
by all safety precautions were taken. Local dives
were made 23rd and 24th to build up nitrogen narcosis
immunity to depths of 80-100M.
|
On the 25th of May exploration began, Leigh Cunningham
descended 150M away from the Yolanda reef as the Depth
sounder indicated bottom at 100M+ A short search at
around 80M revealed a sand slide had occurred and
finding the Yolanda may be more difficult that expected.
Tons of cargo lay strewn around the reefs. Containers,
metal sheets and even an anchor were found in the
scar Yolanda had cut in the sand. They were on the
trail for sure.
|
|
| |
Next day 26th May, after comparing
dive maps the night before Leigh and Mark decided
their route. Unfortunately Mark got Mummy's Revenge
and Leigh had to go alone. He followed the sand valley
made by the Yolanda but got taken a little
off course at 130M. As this was the first MIX dive
time didn't allow much exploration but the sand revealed
large metal protrusions sticking out and the shadow
of the Yolanda came into view. 103 minutes later Leigh
was on the surface grinning like a cat that swallowed
a bird. She was found.
|
27th was the final day, a day for
consolidation and most of all photo's!! But due to
the depth, the video diver was unable to dive and
she even had doubts her housing would hold out at
145M!! Leigh returned alone and circled wreck confirming
she was intact but mostly submerged in the sand. Therefore;
wait for next instalment of Project Yolanda 2 when
video will be provided by a trimix diver!!!
