Comments	Viking Diving of Pensacola is set up to dive the USS Orskiany with no problem.Our crew was very helpful and help gets diver in and out of water, Small 6 pac boat. Dive briefing and Instruction was given. He does furnish cooler on boat & water , Be sure and take any drinks or food with you.Snack furnished. 2 hr trip from dock to site. Very knowledgeable about wreck and area diving. Works with local dive shop well. Spearfishing was done while on wreck and while returning to dock.Rinse tank for gear on dock upon returning, fresh water rinse for video unit. Local dive shop MBT good people to work with for tec gas, and reg air fills. This is a great dive, put in your book for must do. The Gulf was calm and flat- little current on top none on wreck. Be Careful this is a great wreck but is deep, not for new divers, check out rules on web sites- search under pensacola diving.
