For our Tuesday afternoon dive, we returned to the magnificent USS Saratoga (CV-3), an aircraft carrier.

We made our way down to the bow and dropped off our EAN50 stage cylinders. Then we made our way past the diver's helmet on the flight deck of the Saratoga and descended into the forward elevator shaft. We entered the Machine Shop and took a look around.

After exiting the Machinery Shop, we picked up our stage cylinders and took a look around the Saratoga's island (or tower) structure on the starboard side. Then it was back to the bow and the ascent line.

Switch to EAN50 at 21 metres and do the deco stop. Then, up to the 9 metre deco bar, attach my EAN95 cylinder and switch to it for 30 minutes of deco. Switch back to air before surfacing.
