Reima Raty asked: >1) Do You have still Poseidons in use? How did they fail? We have switched to Sherwood Maximus for use at McMurdo Station. Although I still have about 20 Cyclons in the dive locker nobody uses them. At Palmer Station (H2O temp around 30F) the Poseidons work fine and in fact that is what I use there. I do not even bother to use the environmental cap. All regulator failures we have are due to freeflow. Primarily due to second stage freeze up. >2) My mother was on the Argentinian navy ship that sunk "down there". > She was flown to Argentina with a Hercules, "cute trip". > Is there any diving there? Whet is the ships condition/depth? > How does local marine life "take it". Does it form an artificial reef > in that enviroment. Are there species that profit? The ARA Bahia Paraiso sank about a mile from Palmer Station back in 1990. She lies on her starboard side. A small section of the hull is just awash at mid to low tides. The bottom at the bow is at about 60 fsw and at the stern is about 80 fsw. The ship is rolling and breaking up a bit more each year. - -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
