Oriskany departed on final voyage this morning

Not being SCUBA qualified I can't really answer. I think if a person is not
qualified, and goes as deep as the Oriskany is supposed to settle, then that
person may end up qualified for the Darwin Award. I do know that the
hospitals here have invested in equipment and training to handle more people
with the bends than normally seen in any given year.

Quite right. Diving to the depths where Oriskany will settle without
the proper training tends to be a self-correcting problem. The flight
deck is supposed to be around 130 feet, which is right at the limits of
recreational SCUBA. An investment in hyperbaric chambers seems prudent.
