Phil Nuytten Quotations

To our mind, both the price and the requirement for the work class vehicle are somewhat overblown.

The plan is simply to go up and survey the wreckage, see what condition it's in and whether it's relatively intact or not relatively intact.

If that's a hard-rock bottom and the ship hit it after plunging 1,250-odd feet then you can anticipate it will certainly cause a lot of damage.

We think it'll be in more than one piece.

We should be there and diving . . . Saturday morning.

We should be diving late Saturday, I would think.

It's very lightweight and quick to deploy . . . that's what's really needed there.

That's a long ways for a ship that size to fall. I would expect there would be a lot of impact damage if the bottom is hard bottom, which it usually is in that area.
