Just a quick update on our practise day at Vobster. In the end 5 of us turned up to run through survey techniques.
Dive 1 we had two teams. Team 1 was Clare & David - who layed a line course which David then surveyed. Joe played sheepdog in team 2 while Marcus and I surveyed.
On dive 2 we again had two teams and I spent my time switching between the teams while shooting video. Team 1 was Joe and David who surveyed the line but this time took a measuring tape to see what improvement of accuracy we got compared to the survey on the first dive. Joe ran the survey while David used the tape. Team 2 was Clare (survey) and Marcus (tape).
On the 5th May 2008 the DIR-UK team became the first group to dive the wreck of the Ice Prince. The ship sank on the 15th January 2008 in rough weather after the cargo moved.
