2012 Vickery Project Baseline Overview

Aerial imagery

In June 2012, NEUE is headed to the Saint Lawrence River to launch its first Project Baseline ever. The goal is to document the current state of the Vickery before she degrades any further.

The wrecks of the Saint Lawrence have been well-preserved for decades and even centuries. However, recently divers have noticed the wrecks beginning to break down due to abuse (anchor damage, etc.). By formally documenting the wreck of the Vickery, we can establish a baseline by which future efforts to protect her can be judged.

NAS I Class Report

National Archaeological Survey 1

Fun. It’s what is always promised by DIR diving and by having a great set of core buddies to dive with, but sometimes it can get lost in the scramble for a higher c-card rating or in some skill level that borders on absurd. However, for the group of 9 divers that undertook the NAS 1 survey class, fun was as abundant as the top-notch whirlwind education we received.

Dive log for Project Baseline dives

I've added a form to log any dives you do at Project Baseline sites here:
http://northeastunderwaterexplorers.org/neue/#overlay=%3Fq%3Dnode/add/pr...

This will help us document in an ongoing fashion.

Thanks to the Portland, UK Project Baseline group for the idea (http://projectbaselineportland.blogspot.co.uk/).

Calendar for planning events (projects, local dive trips, national GUE events, etc.)

Drupal has a great calendar module. The only question is whether we're better served by putting it here or on FB.

Mobile phone support

Doesn't look like there's a great app out yet. Can change the theme to one that supports a mobile-friendly design though.

Links to advice on DIR diving

BAUE has some good mini-articles

Garf wrote a detailed examination of the valve drill

Feed aggregator

The Aggregator module is installed but we may need to turn on cron to get it working.

Image and video uploads

This should be easy to do, at least for images. We'll add in facilities to easily upload images to forum posts, blog entries, and articles.

2012 Vickery Project Baseline goals

As most people know by now, NEUE's first Project Baseline project is happening in June on the Vickery. Please use this thread to discuss what primary and secondary goals for the project you would like to see.

About NEUE

This group is focused on fostering and enabling the GUE/DIR community in the NE. It is our hope that by connecting divers in the region we will give facilitate more social interaction that will result in more diving, training, and introduction to the GUE system (and fun!) than before.
