Hi Everyone I will be working on the trip report for the next couple of days, but I felt it was very important to everyone to get a short note out. We made it to the very bottom of the engine room and was unable to find any remains of the missing crew. That does not mean they are not there, it will take a hundred dives to cover all the space inside that place, at one point we thought we had found one and may still be, but since we did not want to touch the cloths/ remains it was taped and it does not look like it will have bones in the clothing after viewing the tape, but I could not totally 100% rule it out. In the report you will hear a very chilling part about another diver and myself as we were nearly trapped by a falling catwalk just behind us, causing a silt out while landing on the line, nearly breaking it and possibly have could caused us to be lost deep inside the engine room, we were very lucky. Wait until you read the report before you try to judge us on the dive. To us it was a success and we worked as a team, we went were no one has ever been or tried and I hope others don't try, for I fear that if it is not done as a team someone will surely die in there. I would like to warn anyone that may find our lines inside the wreck ( you must go some 30-40 ft inside before you find one, the lines leading in have been removed), the line arrows are correct, but one line runs some 200ft to an exit on the stern, do not be confused if you find it as it leads through a very small passage with lots of silt, best to stay out. China was removed and placed outside the wreck for those who want it, please stay out of there we give it to you not to go in.
