We Dove a Titan 1 Missile Silo!

7/7/2014

 
If you build it they will come - well sort of - if the 'they' is divers that would be the positive outcome!  And so - about fifteen years ago Undersea Adventures started bringing divers - a select group - to a Titan 1 Missile Silo located in Washington.  The Silo was installed in a known dried up river bed.  Apparently military management were unwilling to take heed of the advice of Engineers and determined a known riverbed posed no issue with underground water!  While the Silo was in commission, pumps kept the underground environment dry.  When the site was decommissioned - voila!  Dive Site!   Thank you Dave Bruns for a fantastic weekend.   Thank you to Darryl Jensen for thinking up such a great dive trip and hopefully we will get to see some of your quality videos soon.  In the interim - my iPhotos will have to do!  These are some shots from the entrance to our dive site access for Silos 2 and 3 as well as the surface (underground) tour of the powerhouse and personnel accommodations.  Pretty neat experience.  And Now - we are certified Missile Silo Divers! 
Darryl Jensen has completed his video of this exciting dive!   He did a fantastic job - check it out!
