Subject: Transpac 96
I have tried unsucsessfully to upload the transpac information to techdiver.
The information is in IBM text format and I still cannot get it to work out
of my own ignorance.

The Transpac lies 100 miles south of alaska and the Canadian Deep Wrecking
Crew dove the wreck in November of this year and has presented it at about 5
trade shows and many seminars.  There are about 12 articles in different
magazines including Diver Magazine this year and I believe it is one of the
stories in aqauCORPS this next issue.

The wreck starts in 102 FSW at low tide (25ft tides) and travels all the way
down to 307 FSW at the stern.  It sits on a small ledge (50 ft wide) facing
straight up at the surface.  The ledge is the only thing stopping the wreck
from falling to 1000FSW.  Visibility was about 150 ft and the water was 38
degrees.  It was a 1600 km drive from Vancouver bc and a 10 hours boat ride
from Prince Rupert.  The trip is amazing and the dives were amazing.  The
Wheelhouse is at about 150 and the props are visible (we took photos there)
at 295 FSW.

We are going back at the end of May.  You can email me direct for more info.

Sorry for the upload problems
