A Team of GUE divers consisting of Jarrod Jablonski, Casey McKinlay, Liam Allen, Richard Lundgren, Kirill Egorov & JP Bresser have successfully executed a project, diving the wreck of the USS Atlanta @ Guadalcanal, Solomon Island. The Atlanta rests at 130 meters depth and has a rich history. Goal of the team is to document and explore this monument of the Pacific war. A documentary about the project will be released later this year.

Well done this week to Katrin, spencer, Mairead, Juliano and Todd on Completing their PADI Enriched Air diver specialty!! 2 divers were completed on the Boat in Sydney Harbour where the divers showed that they couls plan their dives using Nitrox and also annalyse their Nitrox tanks. The group experienced the advantages of using Nitrox that included: less nitrogen build up during the dives so they felt not as tired after diving, longer bottoms times and also shorter surface intervals :) Keep up the good diving guys!!
