Subject: NEW Diving DVD about the Largest Ship Ever Reefed
When: Immediate Release

ClearVis Productions has completed and is releasing (Dec. 2006) a DVD about the USS Oriskany (pronounced - “O-risk-ca-knee”). Entitled “USS Oriskany CVA34 – Status Report 06.19.06”, this DVD features the largest ship ever intentionally sunk as an artificial reef. The massive ship (910 feet / 277 meters) is resting in 220 feet / 67 meters of water and could be the best advanced & technical dive in the world today.

USS Oriskany CVA34 – Status Report 06.19.06 has over an hour of high resolution video. It includes the U.S. Navy’s sink plan animations, actual sinking footage, and dive footage into the hanger space at a depth of 170 feet (52 meters). There is also extensive penetration footage of the island superstructure coupled with custom graphics and animations featuring the actual Oriskany 3D model showing the divers’ positions on the ship. The DVD has a musical sound-track and no narration, but there are several text based information “slides” which detail important information the viewer should know. This DVD is packed full of information about the “Mighty O” and also contains separate menus which access selected video clips & out-takes and preparation & archival photos.

There is also information about the various sponsors who have contributed to the project and contact information for locating dive guides.

The disk will be distributed via orders shipped from International Training, Inc. and via your local dive retailers throughout the USA for FREE. If your dive shop doesn’t have them, they should contact Bill@SoutheasternTechnicalDivers.com to receive FREE copies for their customers. Interested divers can obtain a copy of the DVD directly from ClearVis Productions for FREE by paying $7.00 for shipping and handling ($10.00 USD for International shipping)
