While operating 20 miles offshore the fishing vessel “Muros” pulled up this scuba tank in one of its nets and brought it back to their dock. Members of the Muros turned the tank over to team member Tom Hurst who is owner\operator of Towboat U.S. and has been involved in prior operations of the team.
Tom retrieved the tank and contacted Team Captain Chet Nesley who went to work identifying the tank and locate the original owner. Nesley posted messages on numerous ‘Scuba” related message boards as well as searching VIP records.
Nesley was contacted by Rick Maxwell who recalled that one of his instructors had lost a tank overboard during rough seas while on a dive at the Stolt Dagali wreck site. The dive was conducted from the dive boat Venture 3... Nesley then emailed a photo of the lost tank to Maxwell who passed it on to Ronnie who was the instructor and possible owner of the lost tank. Ronnie immediately emailed back that the lost tank was in fact the tank that she lost during the Stolt Dagali dive…
