Some pictures

In case someone might be interested, I have put a couple of new pictures of
some Baltic Sea wrecks to www.ahomaki.net.

Share and enjoy,

I'm rather impressed by some of those Timo.

Do you sell prints by any chance?

The monochrome wreck pictures are superb. Congratulations.

Timo,

Impressed by both the photo's and the wrecks. Do you any
recommendations for getting out there to dive, especially with yellow
boxes in tow?

Down Under Diving in Lund, Sweden has a good boat and are a good boat
that go on trips in large parts of the Baltish, if they how ever go as
long north as these pictures was taken I dont know. I know that they
during the easly summer was on a wreck trip that included Wilhelm
Gustloff, a page aboute that wreck is here from an other expidition
http://www.deepimage.co.uk/wrecks/wi...tloff_main.htm
I don't however know if they are able to do that kind of diving again,
hopefully they are.

They have a home page at http://www.downunderdiving.com/

I tried to arrange a trip to the Baltic a couple of years ago but gave up
when there was absolutely zero interest. Count me in if you do anything
there.

There was a Russian website I noted at the time but it doesn't seem to be
accessible at the moment
http://antares.ocs.ru/~borisov/lukoshkov/catalogu.htm It listed mainly
aeroplanes but mentioned a few shipwrecks.

Well,

If anyone is interested, I can volunteer to arrange things in my end. The
Gulf of Finland and Archipelagan sea, that is. I have access to boats,
compressor with continuous flow Nitrox/Trimix (if you pay for the J of He
since we have no use for those at the moment), Js of O2, can arrange boosted
O2 through a local guy diving a box, etc, etc. The compressor will travel
along the coast if needed. Basically, you just need to turn up.

The best time to get here is visibility-vise very early summer, may or
thereabouts or alternatively september-early october. Of course, if you are
willing to limit the selection of sites, we have some ice diving on
shallower wrecks in feb-march timeframe. Summer viz is ofter poor, but the
weather othervise more predictable. We are, after all, 62deg north...

The sites I am ready to do include wrecks down to around 50 meters.
Depending on how long you stay we can make quite a few. There is some even
deeper stuff down there, but I have not dived those sites. There might be a
possibility, though...

A week will allow us to do "all the good stuff" while a long weekend will
limit us to one end of the coastline. If we use Helsinki as a base, we can
do quite a lot of good stuff in a long weekend. Freighters up to 80 meters
in lenght, 17th century men-of-war, etc. WW2 warships are behind a
permission policy from the war museum, but not impossible if we plan well
ahead. If we go further west, Tammisaari for example, the viz is better but
the sites more spread out. Almost everything is listed (in finnish) at
www.hylyt.net.

It is not a paradise, mind you, but if you are willing to put up with the
conditions, the wrecks are fine. Quite a bit like the channel actually, but
without the currents.

So, I'm willing to do my end if there is enough interest. It does not need
to be a big group. Four or so will be fine and I'll fill the boats with
local knowledge.

Regards,

timo

What would that mean in terms of timeframe exactly?

We are planning a trip to dive in Kirkenes sometime around midsummer,
probably before, although this may well not happen. If it does, I'll be
there for two weeks or so. Otherwise, it is pretty flexible. I'll just have
to work around the boat schedules a bit since there are some fixed
commitments in those, mainly in the beginning of July.
