About Nick Gilbert and Adina Ochert
With many years of continuous diving around
the world, and especially in the UK, we have gained a wealth
of expertise in the field of deep wreck photography, research
and exploration.
We began mixed
gas diving in the late 1990s and qualified as Open Circuit
(OC) trimix divers in 1998. In 2000 we saw the potential of
the Closed
Circuit Rebreather (CCR) as a deep diving tool and, after
making the initial switch from OC to CCR, qualified as CCR
trimix divers later that year.
In 2003 we were invited to join the prestigious
Starfish Enterprise technical diving team - having dived with
them for some years - and were active members until its recent
dissolution.
We have conducted deep explorations on several
historically significant wreck sites including: the battle
of Jutland, HMs/m Vandal, HMS Russell and most recently HMS
Victoria where Adina set the world
record for the deepest female wreck diver at 144m.
Below is a summary of our experience, wrecks
