Hey, did anybody see the video of the divers looking at the ship's bell that was in the foreground?

overlooking the harbor on Giglio is a street "via Andrea Doria" and a restaurant named "Doria"

The shipwreck Rena that grounded on the Astrolabe Reef off of New Zealand is another somewhat recent wreck. There are fantastic pictures of that wreck from the time it grounded to it's recent breaking up located at the link below. http://www.maritimenz.govt.nz/Rena/gallery-salvage.asp

If you look on deck in one of the pictures, there is a tank labeled "STOLT."

How does a Captain "trip" into a lifeboat? LOLOL.

that photo shows a diver with a full face mask on and a air supply line, so his tank is just for back up?

Surface supply usually means carrying a bail out bottle.

Maybe the tank is for the survivor (if they find one)to breath from?

Take a look at these photos especially the one of the rock the ship hit.
