Wreck Divers, Inc.
Presents Its 53rd Annual Banquet featuring:
Brett Eldridge
Brett on his way out of San Diego to another site on board the Marissa. What will we find today?
Join us in welcoming Brett Eldridge, Explorer and avid wreck diver. Brett has traveled around the world, diving the Solomons, Bikini, Palau, Chuuk (Truk), Malta, Croatia, Greece, Florida and the Great Lakes. He routinely dives wreck sites off Southern California and participated in finding many new ship and plane wrecks, including over a dozen WWII-era warbirds lost off San Diego. One of his specialties is wreck photography and photogrammetry, where by computer, hundreds of photos of a wreck are stitched together, creating an accurate and detailed 3D image of the site. One such project won him first place in the Wreck Category for the 2023 Underwater Photographer of the Year (UPY) contest.
Last October, Brett obtained what he calls his "Golden Ticket" to dive the Britannic in 385' off Greece. The sister ship of the Titanic, this converted hospital ship sank in 1916.
During our Banquet, Brett will share his discoveries off California, his recent dive on Britannic, plus his story of being trapped in a wreck off Palau.
Note that this will be a special meeting on board the S.S. Lane Victory in San Pedro and includes admission to the museum ship from 9 AM to 4 PM. Mark your calendars and don’t miss this exciting presentation! |
