Hello,

I don't see a problem with dives to the Britannic, as they are governed at the moment.

Best wishes,

Mark.

i said only on guideed tours cuz if ppl just start diving down alone, then we would hav the same problem with salvagers. it also isn't safe to dive down alone unless ur a really experienced diver

I see nothing wrong with visiting any shipwreck. As far as I'm concerned, it's no different than visiting graves at a cemetery.

Because the Titanic is so deep (12,500 feet down), using the term "dive" is misleading. The deepest anyone has dived with scuba equipment is just a little over 1,000 feet. It took 12 minutes to descend to that depth. And to prevent a potentially fatal condition called the "bends", it took over 6 hours to safely ascend to the surface.

Actually, visitors would have to descend in a pressurized submarine of some kind to make it quick and comfortable. So although I voted YES, guided tours are the proper way.

However, I would put a restriction that nothing be disturbed on these visits.

Hello,

You said 'should people be allowed to dive down to the Britannic' and that you were 'just wondering.' You didn't mention guided tours as far as I can see.

As to experienced divers, those are the people who have been on the various expeditions.

Best wishes,

Mark.

The poll options were:

Should ppl be able to dive down to the Britannic?
* on guided tours;
* any time;
* yes;
* no;
* it's not safe;
* i like the idea but i wouldn't do it.

It does give the option for 'guided tours.' But you didn't say only on guided tours -- you also offered an option of 'yes' which presumably implies under the current conditions governing trips to the wreck. As I've said, I don't see a problem with the current situation continuing.

Best wishes,

Mark.

Hello,

No worries about it, I was just a little confused.

Best wishes,

Mark.
