Depth and wannabe tech divers not a good mix... Everyone at those depth should be on Helium. No tunnel vision, more aware and much better time to be had with proper training and experience.

Double the the Tanks, Double the run, Add a stage for more fun..... Keep on Diving.
Well, I intend to dive it on Happy Gas, but I'm well-aware that there will be lots of people who won't.
The entire tower will be available within recreational depths (< 130), and there will be a LOT of people who go out there to dive the wreck with no "intent" to go that deep. Lots of them will be on singles and plenty without even a pony bottle along.
I ain't gonna join that parade, but I know it'll be going on and very common.
My personal limit for Nitrox is right around 140. Done that many times, including penetration, but I'm well-aware that I've got a good narc going and my margin for trouble avoidance is reduced.
Until the Oriskany, there were few sites around here that warranted Helium fills, other than stuff that's very-deep (e.g. the Ozark) and well beyond my comfort level.
The Oriskany will change all that.
