Treasures from the Andrea Doria --- Portland Oregon

JS1scuba · April 26th, 2006, 05:31 AM

I've been scheduled to do a presentation on the Andrea Doria in Portland Oregon May 11th

Treasures from The Andrea Doria

North Atlantic divers are best known for their rugged activities of diving in cold water and the desire to bring home an artifact — some remembrance of where they were or what they saw. For some a bottle or a piece of brass fills the need—for others, its china and crystal from the “Mount Everest of Dives,” the Andrea Doria. Though some wrecks are deeper the Grand Dame is still five decades after her sinking giving up her treasures and taking more lives.

This year is the 50th Anniversary of the Sinking of the Andrea Doria.
Spend an evening with us; this presentation will illustrate how technical dives are done on the Andrea Doria, the logistics, planning, equipment, teams, and problems associated with deep open ocean scuba diving with mixed gases. We will look at dive operations both commercial and recreational from the past through the present including an open discussion of methods and techniques.

Never before has there been a presentation on this topic in the Pacific Northwest I hope you’ll join me and Aqualung's Dan Rodarte for an exciting evening on the Andrea Doria. This evening is co-sponsored by Aquatic Sports of Oregon
