The 7th of May concluded the DIRrebreather Expedition on the Garibaldi wreck.

The battleship sunk in 1915 after been striked by a torpedo of austrian subarine U4.

Today the wreck  lies at 122mt depth in the area of Cavtat close to Dubrovnick (Croazia), Adriatic Sea.

The DIRebreather Team did 15 dives on the wreck searching confirmations about the position of  the torpedo explosion and the slope of the wreck's reversal. The hard sea conditions with waves and strong current (more than 3knots) limited the number of dives planned.

Dives run time was between 2h30' and 4h. The team used more or less 150lt of Oxigen and 150lt of Helium

All dives were done in eCCR except one (OC). All divers were equiped with Megalodon ccr excluding Marco Valenti with HammerHead eCCR by Juergensen Marine.

Pim van der Horst, expedition leader (Meg)
