 My name is Ryan Conley, a Navy Diver First Class. I'm assigned to Mobile Diving Salvation Unit 2 at Muncie Company 2-4. Right now we are on a DPA mission off the coast of Grotto, Italy, you know, in hopes to recover some fallen airmen back from World War II. Day in the life, I normally wake up, you know, around 0-700, set up dive site, get everything going, dive supervisors make sure all the paperwork signed, good to go. The divers on the dive site make sure all the gear is ready, and all the OPs are done, operating procedures are done, and then, so that way we can dive. Take a quick, a quick break, eat some breakfast, and we'll be briefing the divers at 8.30, and we'll be doing dive ops until about 16-1700. Divers will go down, and they rig up the baskets down there. What we have is we have dredging tools that use fire main inductors to suck essentially a vacuum cleaner, and basically we're vacuuming up the sand on the bottom. So once we vacuum up, basically we grid off the areas, we'll vacuum up, and once we're either done with the area that has been gridded off, we will bring up the basket. At that point, we will get the ship crew to help us out, the ship's boasting. He's operating the cranes, and we'll do a pick, we'll pick out the baskets. Once the baskets are on deck, then the archeologists and the DPAA team will sift through the baskets and look for any type of materials. The grass crew is real awesome. They do really well supporting operations. The crew's mess provides good food for us to carry out normal day-to-day operations. The ship's boasting, they all are 100% on board with what we're doing, so it's real quick, real good turnaround times, and the crew and us work real well together. I feel this platform is great. It's a design diving vessel. It has good rigging capabilities for salvage, for lifting items. We've got capsins, we've got cranes, as well as a diving system on board. That's very helpful. We don't have to bring out our own equipment because a lot of the equipment's already here. It's an MSC billet for a master diver, but all the equipment's already here. It makes it a lot easier for the team as opposed to having to bring their own gear.
