The USS Oriskany was an aircraft carrier used by the United States in the Korean War as well as the Vietnam War. It had exemplary service and even won a number of battle stars. After a long life of service to her country she was retired and brought to my home town, Pensacola to be sunk as a diving site.
She lies now over 200 feet under the surface and serves as an awesome place for divers to explore. There are a lot of fish and other marine life out there and some photos from the dive area are really spectacular. Check out the 2 min video here. How cool is that?
As most of you know, I’m claustrophobic and I once had a total panic attack doing scuba so I don’t do that anymore but I sure can live vicariously through the films and videos.

I’m claustrophic too. I found out as a child when our class went on a train trip. The train seemed so narrow and squinched to me. Interesting post. http://flossiebentonrogers.com

I feel your pain! Trains can do that to me too. Especially if too crowded

Okay, I’m going to take a chance and comment, praying you are already fast asleep. I know you just got home. 🙂 I used to scuba dive, when I was much, much younger. It’s funny that I didn’t feel claustrophobic with that, because I do suffer from claustrophobia. However, the deepest dive I ever did was 105 feet. Not sure I could have done 200 feet, even back then.

Awesome. Glad it didn’t make you claustrophobic. It was all the darkness pressing in on me that made me crazy. And yeah, I’d been in bed about 6 mins when you posted this. Lol
