Hi all,
Minelab Excalibur scuba dive photos and video
Just have received my new Minelab Excalibur II and before loosing my warranty on it, I just wanted to make sure it was fully functional before beeing remastered by OBN, the wizard of Excalibur
I've selected a new diving site where I first have to locate some pieces of wood, potteries and iron on the seabed which are proof of shipwreck a loooong time ago...
All my tanks have been sent to the yearly certification, so I'm diving with a friend "oldy" regular air mix tank which is not so good for this depth.

I've uses a copyright music, so can't see from Germany and from certain devices, computer =OK
0-63m (0-206ft) as quick as possible to stay as much as I can looking for clues of +2000 years old shipwreck..
Even when detecting underwater, I won't forget my Minelab cap
Sorry for the red nose... just made a jump of nearly 210ft in a very limited time period and you can have blood
coming out from your nose, something usual.
Heading to potential sites of interest, Scuba detection is similar to land relic prospection..it takes time and need some luck
Trying to read the currents and searching for clues (pottery, irons, wood) of shipwrecks @ approx -65m (213ft)
Look at the Moray fish on the left of the image....
Time goes very fast underwater, I consume nearly 6x more air at this depth then i will on surface.....
My diving computer starts to beep but I couldn't hear it (metal detection...) and I only have a few minutes minutes left in my crappy tank (!)
This is a good shot of a stupid man realizing he is in deep SxxT
Heading quickly to the surface (not too fast..) and still a long way to go ... 2 major deco stops to do. Only air remaining for the deepest one (!)
PS: I only did the first deco step, surfaced and took a spare pony air tank to accomplish my long final deco...did go to the hospital in emergency for checking and analysing the data of my diving computer. Thanks god everythings ok
This not the good example to follow, I am an experienced diver and I was lucky today...can't have luck all the time.
The next step for upgrading my Excalibur II into an Excalibur IIS
- Changing the end caps by OBNs remastered ones
- Remote PP latching mod with led light in All Metal position
- Hot swappable / Removable coil even during underwater prospection
- Use of Bone Phone hearphone, can be placed under the diving suite
- Lipo battery pack with capacity led
- Change the decals for those ones :

), but as I said in the introduction, i gave this week all my tanks for their yearly certification and just had an Aluminium Pony tank on the boat + a pure oxygen tank that I did use when reaching the shore.
