Cargo ship Kyra Eleni, (former OTTA), registry of Piraeus 2290, IDL:SWZR, gross registered tonnage 2290 TR and net registered tonnage 1071 TR, carrying capacity 3658 tons, length 99m, built in 1949 at TRONDHZEMS M/V shipyard in TRONDHZEM, Norway, powered by a MAN engine 1890 BHP, speed 12 knots.

On the 5th January 1978 at 21.00 p.m she sailed from Lavrio port to Bulgaria non-carrying and with ballast.

At midnight the weather was getting worse and worse. At around 01.00 a.m on the 6th January 1978 in Cavo Doro she came across severe northeastern wind Beaufort force 8.

Since the weather conditions were about to get even worse according to previous weather forecasts, the captain decided to resort to Karystos bay till they got better. The dark, the heavy rain, the other anchored ships and the strong regional winds increased the risk level and the captain led the ship up and down the leeward side till dawn. Nevertheless, at 07.00 a.m on 6/1/78 the strong winds reached Beaufort force 10-11 and the ship was not able to turn back to Karystos. Instead, she headed southwest towards a leeward bay of Sounio.

At 12.30 she tried to sail into Legrena gulf. Once again the sailing in was cancelled due to strong winds and the captain decided to resort to the leeward side of Patroclos Island waiting for the weather to get better. When she approached it, the crew was ready to anchor near the coast.

Due to strong winds the ship could not be steered efficiently. She could not head full astern and despite the cast anchor her port crashed against the rocks. Moving back she listed on the left and cast her right anchor. Water started coming in through the engine room and hold number 2. An SOS was sent out. All passengers abandoned the ship and reached land using a rope ladder.

Kyra Eleni sank at 14.50 on the 6th January 1978.

After going about 12 miles straight out into the open ocean off the southern tip of Baja, our group of 7 divers dove down to 110 to 120 feet beneath the waves on a "blue water" deep dive. At one point, we were engulfed by about 10,000 Jack Mackerel in a swirling school known as a "bait ball." They quickly moved off into the blue void a few moments later, quite likely being pursued by unseen predators - Gordo Banks, Sea of Cortez, B.C.S., Mexico

I strapped Go Pro Hero 4 to my rig when i did this dive. Shawn Miller (#yeahIknowshawnmiller) found this Pygmy Seahorse and called me over to get some shots. A challenging subject! You can see how small it is and how it moved across to the other side of the crevice in this short video clip.

At POLITICO Pro's Technology Deep Dive: Immigration, Technology and the 113th Congress (sponsored by Cognizant), a panel of Congressional heavyweights debated current activity and appedite for immigration reform to help deal with domestic brain drain and enhance U.S. business competitiveness the world over. Moderated by POLTICO Pro Technology Reporter, Tony Romm (far left), the panel included: (from left to right) Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah); Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho); and Rep.

I have been bringing my GoPro Hero 4 out on dives an an attachment to my Nauticam housing. I was pointing the GoPro in the same direction as the nauticam. I've found for shooting macro that it isn't especially exciting. The macro subjects I'm working on tend to be fairly small, and therefore not big enough to be impressive on the GoPro.

 

During this dive, I knocked the GoPro down without noticinging it and filmed myself taking some pictures. I thought it was interesting enough to post. You can see Shawn Miller (#yeahiknowshawnmiller) in the background.

Below is a quote from Planning document called the Wood Green Town Centre Supplementary Planning Guidance, Draft Evidence Base and Consultation Report May 2008.

 

This is a legal document so we can forgive the less than catchy title. But that shouldn't have prevented the use of clear plain English. As most Haringey staff are knowledgeable professionals, why did they end up with the paragraph below of such meaningless bureaubabble?

__________________________________________

 

"The main aims of the Spatial Plan are to build on the town centre’s current strengths and to transform it into a major shopping and retail destination in North London, whilst also improving the quality of the environment for local residents, businesses and visitors. It identified that central to the success of delivering this step-change in the town centre’s identity and market position was the provision of a high quality public realm framework which will create a more attractive and safe environment for people to live, work and relax in, whilst also injecting a sense of confidence and civic pride to help attract a higher quality and wider range of retailers and services to the town centre."

Bingo !

A big rig transported the Deepsea Challenger through D.C. on June 11, 2013. It pulled over briefly on Pennsylvania Avenue where I spotted it and shot this video. Filmmaker James Cameron and his team of scientists and engineers built the Deepsea Challenger to reach the deepest places in Earth's oceans. Cameron got the world's attention in March 2012 when he dove solo into the world's deepest spot, the 6.8-mile-deep Mariana trench. He brought technology with him in the Deepsea Challenger needed to explore the ocean floor, conduct experiments and collect data, specimens and 3-D images unthinkable in an earlier time. The June 2013 issue of National Geographic has an excellent article about James Cameron and his Deepsea Challenger.

Here are two of the prop keyblades I painted. (Note : I did -not- cut nor assemble them...I do not work in wood for my own props. I only painted these guys.)

This was my first time getting bit by cleaner wrasse. Most of the other sites I dive the cleaner wrasse don't actually interact much with divers. This fish might have been somewhat hungry. I didn't see a great "cleaning station." Cleaning stations are places where other bigger fish come and "park" so that the cleaner wrasse can pick off parasites. Maybe I looked especially dirty. It wasn't terrible pain, but unexpected and created some anxiety about trying to take photos in that area.

I didn't see a great "cleaning station." Cleaning stations are places where other bigger fish come and "park" so that the cleaner wrasse can pick off parasites. Maybe I looked especially dirty. It wasn't terrible pain, but unexpected and created some anxiety about trying to take photos in that area.

The wreck of the Mama Viña sits upright in about 30m/96ft of water, ever defying the prevailing current with a turn in to the port side. This steel hulled trawler was intentionally sunk in 1996 after having suffered extensive damage while running aground during a hurricane. Located just south of Xcaret, the sunken vessel is often host to barracuda, jacks, and other schooling fish. The current here can be quite strong at times. While the Mama Viña makes an excellent introduction to wreck diving, recreational divers not trained in overhead environments should avoid entering the open foreward pump bay and central corridors. Although the wreck has only spent a few years on the sea floor, coral and stinging hydroids have quite effectively covered most all surfaces. Gloves and a long wetsuit are highly recommended. This is not a difficult dive, but given the depth, potential for current, overhead environment, and possibility of entanglement or separation, it should be considered an advanced site.

The day of the dive, there was no wind, the sea was extremely calm and no current at the surface. There was a small drift at the bottom. The vessel exploration was a lot of fun. I couldn’t get into the engine chamber at it was too tight getting in with my camera.

Equipment used: Ikelite Housing, Nikon D200, Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 @ f/9, 2 Strobes (Ikelite DS-50 and Nikonos SB-105) all in manual control.
