Oriskany is a remote location dive.
Of the 30,000 or so dives completed on the Oriskany since May of 2006, I know of only two or three
cases of DCI or any other dive injuries that may have occurred on the Oriskany. While I consider the
Oriskany to be one of the safest deep dives in the world it is still a remote location that deserves
respect.
The Sea Sherpa is the fastest dive charter available and will cruise at 35knots weather permitting.

- The Oriskany is located 25nm from the nearest place for emergency medical
evacuation/ transfer.
- There are NO emergency helicopter evacuations available.
- There is NO super fast USCG boat to come get an injured diver.
- The boat you go out on is the only ride you're coming back on.
- There are no multi-place hyperbaric chambers available. Only two small single
place chambers at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola. They do however accept DAN
insurance.
- U.S.Naval medical facilities will NOT treat injured civilian divers and they do not
have emergency staff standing by like at a hospital.
