Captian KUJO, Since I'm a diver too with 1200 dives behind me I'm guessing you work for S.C.R.U. I think I've got that right as I read the book Submerged a few years ago. You must be doing the U.S.S. Arizona follow-up work?? Am I close on this guess and is not your agency based out of NEW MEXICO?? (new name NPS Submerged Resources Center). If you ever need another diver I've done commercial work as well as 20 years of underwater photography. Mark

Mark,
You are exactly correct. Used to be called the SCRU TEAM but has recently been changed to Submerged Resources Center. And yes we're based out of Santa Fe New Mexico. I have been a diving instructor/examiner for the Team since 1996. I have been lucky enough to be involved with many regional training workshops and underwater projects all over the US including the USS Arizona, the USS Hunley, the recent discovery of a pristine B-29 at Lake Mead in Las Vegas just to name a few. I have really enjoined my "volunteer" position as it has afforded me many unique diving opportunities not available to just anyone.

Great pictures and interesting information.
I served in the Navy and it was a very emotional visit to the memorial.
Good job!
