The Mount Everest of Scuba Diving: The Andrea Doria May 3, 2010

The Andrea Doria has been a frequent target of treasure divers. It is commonly referred to as the Mount Everest of scuba diving. The depth, water temperature and currents combine to put the wreck beyond the scope of recreational diving. The skills and equipment required to successfully execute this dive, such as use of mixed gases and staged decompression, put it in the realm of only the most experienced technical divers. John Hanzl, The Aquarium’s Dive Safety Officer, will talk about his dive on the Andrea Doria and technical diving.
Lectures are free and open to the public. Registration is requested. All programs start at 7 p.m. in the Aquarium's Harborside Learning Lab, unless otherwise noted below. Programs last approximately one hour followed by a reception.
