Tuna Clipper

Location: Catalina Island

Wreck: Tuna Clipper

Teams:

Team 1: Michael Gasbarro, Andrew Hung

Team 2: Keith Chu, Juan Torres

Team 3: Jim Babor, Tianyi Lu

Surface Support: Laurie Dickson, Katie McWilliams

Mission Impact: 500 square feet of net removed, 1 hoop lobster pot removed.

Team Ghost Diving USA dove back in at the Tuna Clipper to continue our clean up efforts. Divers were met with stunning conditions topside and below.

The teams opted to stagger their profiles to maximize bottom times. Team 1 was tasked with placing lift bags and jumped in first, after approximately 20 minutes team 2 dove in to document, and then finally team 3 was the cut team.

The teams were able to complete their assigned tasks with no challenges and worked collectively to remove 500 square feet of net and 1 lobster pot.

A very straight forward and successful day for the team. The recovered net and lobster pot were taken to a local artist for a project. Stay tuned for details to come!

A very special thank you to our partners at Healthy Seas and Hyundai USA for supporting our clean up efforts.
