Good job on the video. Love how you didn't put music to it. The music is the ambient sound. Thanks for sharing.

When I dove the wreck 50 years ago, there was virtually nothing left. Even less now. Not worth the trouble. She's 90 feet deep at the bow, 120 feet at the stern. Can quite cold. The rumor is that she was carrying $100,000 worth of gold in a safe, encapsulated in melted Catalina tile. Believe it?

Thanks for the video Jay. Great shooting. My buddy Mark and I dive casino point and many of the other island spots regularly. We have been wanting to hit the Valiant for a few years now. I have a couple questions. Did you guys need a permit or let Harbor patrol know you were going there? I was told that you had to let them know and I don't know if that is even true. I also noticed you guys entered from the beach near the cabanas down the way from the Casino. I was thinking about doing that also. I noticed you guys swam to a buoy line. Is there any in particular buoy that we should look for? When you guys got to the bottom how did you know which way to go? Any advice? Is the wreck in mostly 85 feet. I thought it was actually deeper from other posts I have been reading. Thanks a bunch. Greg

I dove it last Wednesday. Excellent dive. very large and parts still semi intact after all these years. Morays have taken residence too. It can be about 110 ft at deepest but most is 95ish.. Its between 2nd and 3rd large buoy from the edge of Dive Park, out in front of Descanso as seen in this video. Call the Avalon Harbormaster...fill out short form..they did not give me any problem whatsoever...it has directions to wreck on it and also the Dive shop guys will help too. Go on weekday to get Ok and avoid boat traffic which imho is #1 concern. Depth, air and decompression also could be an issue. I use 100cu ft and pony. Nitrox with 100cu ft would have been even better. btw...Giant Sea Bass congregating at Dive Park right now approx 20+.

Gregory Lambert navigation on the surface to the wreck. Don t swim along the bottom at depth burning up air and pushing your bottom time past non decompression limits. Do a safety stop at 15 feet as a precaution. Pat Fealy LA County / NAUI underwater instructor.

The person doing the video has a SAC rate of a mouse ha ha. Assuming an Al 80 cfu tank, I calculate their SAC to be 17.722 psi/minute with RVM of 0.44305 ft^3/min, wow! Is that correct?

What type of camera and light?

Hi. I use an Isaw A3 Extreme. It has an aqua mode that color corrects for underwater shooting. No red filter needed. My light isn't anything special. I just use an older Princeton Tec shockwave that I'd like to upgrade one day.

Jay Atienza Jay, thanks so much. We use a Princeton Tec and UK Cannon as primaries, along with an Intova camera. Just wondering how one might mount the camera to that particular light.

I use one of the sticky mounts on top of my light to mount my camera. My buddy in the video mounts his the same way for his gopro. I like it because it's a one handed setup. I need a way to diffuse the light to reduce the hotspots. Otherwise it works for now.

90 ft for 29 minutes on air? Your into decompression time. Too risky on a single tank. Does anyone consult dive tables?

PADI decompression time starts at 30 min, however; they should have performed the required safety stop

Why are they not diving down directly onto the wreck? Swimming along the bottom to the wreck only shortens the time you have on the wreck and pumps your tissues full of nitrogen. Get rid of this floppy split find and get a full legged kick.
