Passed rescue diver. Not public one. But we did almost all of this one. And first aid. It was not easy as expected, more over it was difficult. To do it again and again and again with different types of solutions. Poseidon was on our side and made visibility less than 50 cm and 🌊. Usually visibility more than 20 m. Searching for missing diver was very exitive.Thanks for our instructor for this experience.

Nice video,50 years ago me and my diving buddy made a ice dive at REDGRANITE QUARRY we dove down to 190 feet in the sump hole under the ice we had our team of many people including safety divers also. They lowered 12x 12 white plexiglass slate to the bottom with a 1" rope and a 30 pound weight to the bottom with a two depth gauges mounted to the slate and we both free fall like skydivers clearing are ears was no problem we wanted to get to the bottom fast as we could safely to increase our bottom time, we took pictures of each of us signing the white slate took several pictures it was jet black we had Ike Lites and with our Nikonos Camera with strobes we took pictures of the signed slate and depth gauges after that checking our time pretty constant we started our ascent, we made it to our 20 foot tanks and looked at our charts and switched over to our two tanks hanging there for decompression for 12 minutes we then continued up to the 10 foot level and stayed another 15 minutes just to be safe we stayed a little longer, we were getting cold but we knew Milwaukie decompression chamber was a long ways off and we did not want to take any chances, better to be safe and give yourself a few minutes extra Navy tables do have a plus or minus on body conditions. People ask us why are you doing this well, we were trying to set a record ice dive in a fresh water quarry, it was a six month planned dive with with 72 cu tanks with regulators s at 10 feet and 20 feet for decompression Safety crew a lot of preparation not just a idea a week before it was dangerous we knew it but we planned out very carefully, we trained and were good shape it was cold that day 18 degrees plus we did it without dry suits, few years down the road we both got Poseidon Unisuits LOL for winter diving. Well, that's about it, now at 75 I am retired from diving 24 years ago but seen a lot and had a great adventurous life been all through the caves in Florida- jenny -devils ear -Troy and many others and all the keys and Grand Cayman wall I am a Padi Instructor then too we both were hope I did not bore anyone just looking through You tube and seen Red Granite Quarry just had to tell my story, I am done again great to Red Granite under water also Was a Skydiver for 10 years

Nice production and editing. Interesting video. 👍

whers old whitey

This was very interesting and answered some questions. I used to swim as a kid there in the early 90s. Looks completely different. I like the secluded old quarry better than how it looks now but 🤷‍♂️. Considering all the garbage we used to see on the shores, i was always wondered if the bottom was 2 feet deep in just cans and bottles 🤣 i used to be able to swim deep and almost caught 1 of you guys once. I don't think he knew i was there but he was just past my point of return. Another body length and i could have scared the crap outa him 🤣. I'm glad i didn't....stupid kid thinking. I might have ended up really hurting him or scaring him and causing him to choak or something.

I lost an Apple Watch in there today

Awesome video, the narration and graphic provided a lot of good information to consider for someone like myself who is about to begin my diving journey with a beginner open water class here soon.

Quarry diving...why even bother 😂 😂 😂

Excellent video, thanks.

How would you bail out to 50% oxygen at 230 depth? Isn't that CNST territory?

Thanks a lot, that was super interesting. We used to jump off the cliffs there in the 80's. Always just slightly concerned we'd hit the top of a crane or something. Good to know those fears were unfounded.

What situation is this intended to emulate? Why would the rescue diver have no visibility? Great video! Thanks for sharing all of this! 😊

I would love to learn about the setup for this. Let me know if you are willing to contact me.

At this late date are there any plans afoot to raise the Gunilda?

Looks like a deep underwater dessert

Why to use a lift bag with a 400f reel? Takes wayyyy too much air. And Never use a boltsnap on a lift bag . Dsmb, 50f spool already attatch thats it.

Cool Video! What Certifying agency are you guys certified by for Public Safety?

I SO want to go visit this shipwreck!! Thanks for sharing your amazing underwater video

Are you teaching a PSD class?

I heard from a friend but can't find anything about it or pictures of it that there is a Crane in the Quarry and really curious to see if it is true

My cousin Jim Leblanc Jueles Verne corporation Took his submarine too that spot Back in 1973 such a marvelous yacht As jauque queusto marveled abought this yacht

Awesome vid thank you for including your dive plan

This is an amazing piece of video it shows another facet of diving

That was an awesome dive

Music is horrible, were you clubbing baby harbor seals?

Love your videos 👍🏻

Retired PSD (DRI Cert.) here. I worked for Pittsburgh River Rescue for 14 years. I enjoyed the video, and wish that we had some of the drill stations you have. A couple of things that we did that I didn’t see you guys doing. First, we ran our hoses tucked through our BCDs to minimize entanglement hazards. In the river environment we dove there are a lot of hazards; trees, rebar, wire rope near the old steel mill sites, etc. We ran our hoses between the BCD and our drysuits, keeping everything nice and tight to our bodies, and thereby eliminating the big loop extending above and behind us. Second, we did our disentanglement drill with our masks blacked out. Again, our river environment limited out visibility to from zero to three feet, diving in the Monongahela is like diving in chocolate milk. So practicing in zero visibility was paramount in developing the proper skill and technique. Finally, I could not tell how the air hookup was made to the rescued diver. In Pittsburgh we figured out how to ‘back feed’ air through the BCD inflator, and make the hookup there. The advantage is the rescued diver does not have to remove his/ her mask at any time (making the diver both more comfortable in a stressful situation, and allowing him/ her to stay in communication with topside.). The disadvantage is the rescued diver cannot inflate his/ her BCD once the underwater portion of the rescue has been made, and the rescuer diver has to control the ascent of both divers. Anyway, that’s my two cents worth, I hope it helps.

loved this video thank you

I wish scuba wasn't so expensive I'd get into it so fast

Alot of these cargo ships from the era had life savers and toothpaste

Excellent video, the veterans affairs fire department will be using this for our pool training!

Please do Waupaca quarry

Absolutely not.

Hi, there! We are covering the story of the SS Kamloops for one of our podcast episodes and are looking for someone who has dived the Kamloops to give a short interview about their experience. Would you be interested in coming on the show? Interviews are typically 10 - 30 minutes long and you can promote or shout out any projects you'd like. Thank you for your consideration!

Great footage of a very important shipwreck. Thanks for posting!

What the hell is with that leg? Is that a joke?

Triple expansion engine

I find the Lifesavers cargo more than a little bit ironic.

YESSS THIS IS SO COOL. Ever since I found out about the SS Appomattox (Milwaukee), I’ve been obsessed with shipwrecks.

Great Vis !! Last ice dive for us was black water… love your “pipe person” for practice / recovery. Stay Safe !!

So basically just a bunch of dark?

What dry gloves are you wearing in the video?

I’ve heard from a few people now that there are old vehicles at the deepest part along with mining equipment and a crane. Is this just a rumor?

Do you work with the VA and the VR&E program?

Beautiful!

I have watched at least five dives on the boat in the last two weeks It absolutely amazes me at its condition after all this time And I think about the owner What a stupid old fool , obviously he was rich beyond belief as I’m sure even back when it sank it was a very expensive boat I still think half a dozen air bags and she will be up no worries 👍👍

I'm not able to access the google drive files, I'd like more information on this because I'm trying to set up training for my dive team. Unfortunately we had all of our experienced divers leave due to various reasons and no one has anything for training. I'm essentially attempting to build a training program now from scratch and any ideas would be appreciated

There’s one guy in lohrville who lives right down the street from me. If you contact him he will let you dive there. He owns all of the quarry’s in lohrville but shut them down to the public cause of the drownings.

How deep would the bodies of the people who died there be ? I know lots and lots of people have died there. Did you find any remains?

Was that leg real or fake
