Airlifting on the "Golden Wreck" see post 1 for list/spaces

About time we offered a few air-lifting days on the Royal Charter, it's great fun, open to all levels of diver experience- max depth will be 9m (once we've dug the hole!) Chances of being blown out are small, chances of finding gold fairly high, finds will be split equally between all divers once we've got the nod from the ROW- often takes 12mths.
Only proviso is you must be up for long days- if you're not on the air-lift the sifting table will need manning, brews/grub will need making, generally you need to be happy to "muck in".
Elfyn will be along shortly with some Dates/prices.


Price is £35.00/ day

Dates avaiable for a bit of underwater hoovering are:
August 4th of 5th
september 1st or 2nd
We have been asked several times to lay these trips on again so here goes.
As terry has stated terms are, all finds to be split between the group after clearance from receiver.
For those who have not experienced airlifting before , its good fun and very addictive.
the site has gold dust, nuggets and coins buried from the spoils of miners coming back from the Austrailian gold rush, scattered all over it.
A bit of luck is needed on this site ,ya just need to excavate in the right spot.
when your not diving you'll be on tray spoil duty looking for swag from the hoover wash or making a brew, so plenty to do.
we know were has been dug before so we will be on fresh ground so you never know................

I think I should be able to get the dates off from my stupid work for this, and the same goes for my girlfriend. If one or both of us cannot make a particular day then I will post those days and let that space go to another. We want GOLD!!!!!:embarassed:

i have had a beer with terry and we have decided to limit each day to a max of 10 divers as we need the extra room for the sorting/sifting table and general elbow room to make it more enjoyable..
we will be running two 4 inch airlifts at the same time so that everyone gets plenty of "Hoovertime",and we cover as much ground as possible.
only extra bit of kit you will need is a pair of marigold gloves to protect yer hands while on sorting table duty

max depth of 9-10m is at high water,at lowwater you'll be in 4-5m
this is really a single cylinder dive,nice and simple bare bones,think you'll find it a lot more enjoyable.
my advice to everyone is leave the twinsets/stages at home , you'll get a good couple of hours bottom time on a single 15 or 12.
we don't really want a pile of kit that is not required cluttering up the deck space.
there will be no shortage of single cyl OC gear for you to use .
obviously anyone who's on a rebreather will have the mandatory rope attached for the OC guys to tug on should they get carried away and hog the lift.
