I treasure the memories of the liberty ports we visited. Plus, she was proud of being at sea, and so were we. Of all the ships I cruised aboard (USS America, USS Forrestal, USS Enterprise, USS Coral Sea) the Coral Sea was by far the best and cleanest. VA-196 Milestones/X-2M Master-at-Arms Force I have since retired from the Navy as an EM1. That is why she was called Best in the West for several years. Worked with some of the best people in the world. Spent 2 years on this great ship in Alameda and met some wonderful people there. LOOKING FOR MY OLD BUDDIES, DO ANYONE HAVE PICTURES OF THE V-2 DIVISION FROM THE 1983 YEARBOOK?.
PROUD TO HAVE SERVED WITH SOME OF THE SHARPEST PEOPLE I'VE EVER MET. Hello shipmates, just looking to chat with my crew of V-2 Cats. Joe Wessling, Kevin Gould, Ken Epling, Kent Brisbin and mr. I never tought that i would miss those days aboardīest ship I was ever on and I was on 5. Worked in lightwater and sheetmetal shops, and proudly served on the flying squad.

On a site you’ve visited countless times, it’s a real shock to find out that these amazing creatures that were always there, just hiding out of sight.← Back to the USS Coral Sea (CV 43) page | ↑ Register | ↓ Reunions | ↓ To end of page USS Coral Sea (CV 43) Crew List In Scotland, we often find the likes of bobtail squid and octopus popping out. The variety of life can change dramatically as well. It’s as if the seabed comes alive once it gets dark! Watching the creatures scuttling around in and out of the torch beams is like something from another world. Not only are you familiar with it, you’ll be amazed just how it changes. I would always suggest heading to one of your local dive sites for night diving. It’s incredible how a dive site can change once the sun goes down. So, when my dive buddies said so, I thought they were winding me up. I had no idea there were such things as nocturnal marine animals. As cheesy as it sounds, night diving really is like being in another world.īefore I started diving, I didn’t think much about how marine life would react differently to daytime and nighttime. But, completing the Night Diver specialty course guides you through these challenges and prepares you to enter a world that’s probably as close to floating in space as many of us will ever get. Night diving definitely comes with its own set of challenges.
Well, there is risk involved in all scuba diving, which is why it’s important to be properly trained and prepared for the dive you’re planning.
