Four Daughters video from May 12, 2012

Posted by Dan Wright User icon on 5/17/2012, 11:05 pm

YouTube video of the "Four Daughters" wreck dive, over 45 miles off of Manasquan Inlet, NJ. Outstanding weather and conditions. Bottom temps 50 degrees, no current, 1-2 seas, 50' visibility. I don't think it gets any better, especially visiting a secret wreck site.
This GoPro footage actually is a "behind the scenes" video of me shooting stills with my housed DSLR. Trying a bunch of new things this season, never stop learning, and above all, be safe and dive with a buddy, he/she may save your life.

Dan,

What was the profile on that dive?
I noticed the person on O/S, did not have a sling w/ him etc, didn't know if he was going to use surface supplied for deco or had staged his bottle etc, was he on Mix etc. Just curious since most of you guys are on C/S. Beautiful Viz!

Brian:
He was using a Nitrox blend in his doubles, did his deco with his doubles. Profile: max depth 130', 110' to the keel.

Nice video. Really surprised at the lack of wildlife. I know you first dove when it sunk, I guess the wheelhouse is now buried and not accessible?

Glenn:
We were also surprised at the limited wildlife, the last time we went in fall of 2010, it had many lobster. There were only a few located, most were eggers or small. Cod were there in force.
The wheelhouse is accessible from the galley, one has to get to the stairwell, and go down to the wheelhouse. Very narrow hall and stairwell, not for the faint of heart. Dangerous, absolutely one should run a reel, as you will silt it out. I am going to re-edit the video I shot on the first dive on September 4, 2005, and post on YouTube shortly, as a comparison. Thanks for the compliment!
