Most people think a deep wreck dive
0:02
starts when you hit the water. No, it
0:05
doesn't. It starts months, sometimes a
0:08
year, possibly even more earlier. Before
0:11
anything else happens, you're going to
0:13
need to get four main things in place,
0:16
and lots of these are tied together, but
0:18
what you need are some dates, you need a

Tied in with the boat is the location
0:24
that you're going in, and of course, you

Typically, whoever is organizing the
0:31
thing will start off. They'll identify
0:33
some dates, and normally those will be
0:37
on neap tides, so when the the tidal
0:40
flow is at its least, they'll then speak
0:43
to the skipper of a boat, and together
0:46
they will agree the location, and
0:49
possibly even start thinking about
0:51
targets at that point, but but that is
0:52
quite unusual. Once the dates, the boat,
0:55
and the location have been sorted out,
0:57
the organizer will try and arrange to
1:00
get some divers. 12 months is kind of
1:04
what people often need in order to get
1:06
their diaries aligned, cuz everyone
1:08
everyone's got families and work and all
1:10
those sorts of things, and normally a
1:13
deep dive is a fairly significant
1:15
commitment, so people will need to
1:16
travel and potentially accommodation and
1:20
all that kind of stuff.
1:22
12-month point, there will be a boat, a
1:25
location, some divers, and obviously
1:29
those are all tied in with the dates.
1:31
Those things will be arranged, and then

typically nothing will happen for quite
