Probably the Delight though one website says it's 62m, which is OK by me but others with normoxic qualification may not think so. Not that anyone like that has signed up yet.

62m is still within normoxic range. I make it 19.4% o2 for 62 metres

I've put a few more details on My Trips 2008

I've also put the lists of who's coming up there, so can people who said they were interested please check that I've not forgotten them.

I was told 18% when I did it not a depth.

I have checked and I can breathe 18% at home and and still do maths and my bail out is 18% so I'm just under 1.3bar swiming for the shot line at 62m wondering why the CCR flooded so suddenly.

I found it interesting when we were discussing the pO2 at altitude. Now I've had trouble breathing at 4300m, but 2400m was no problem for me when I was in Chile. And that's apparently a p02 of 16%

Interesting.
I was wondering if my archeological taste could take me to Machu Picchu but wasn't sure if the altitude was pushing my luck. That's 2400ish. (Travel insurance is a bitch after a heart attack).

Where did you get to 4300m? That's nearly Mont Blanc.

It was in the Andes in Chile near San Pedro de Atacama.

The lake in this photo is at 4300m. The top of that volcano is over 6000m.

Jason, here are a couple of options:

Merchant Royal 55 metres
Delight 60 metres
Meknes 59 metres
Franzisca 55 metres
Ohio 60 metres (broken and partly buried though)
Gripfast barely 50 metres
Boadicea barely 50 metres
LST 531 50 metres if you bring a shovel
LST 507 also 50 metres with a shovel

Just confirmed the price of the May 17/18th weekend diving wrecks to 35m with the skipper. It's going to work out at £70.84 with a full boat. I've got 6 spaces left at the moment. Any more takers?
