The crew of the 1987 Trident Warrior Athena tests new scuba gear and an Excalibur II underwater metal detector while anchored in Gorda Sound, British Virgin Islands.0:38 After scouting dive sites identified on Navionics, the crew finds the locations degraded, likely by past hurricane activity, and notes that digital charts do not always accurately reflect current underwater conditions.5:52 To manage shock loads on the windlass during light-weather anchoring, the owner constructs a custom, lightweight bridle using 8-strand line and a Wichard chain hook, designed to remain above the waterline to prevent marine growth.12:56 The owner also attempts to use the metal detector in the anchorage but finds only debris, noting that mastering the device's sensitivity settings and using protective gloves are necessary for future success.15:33 The crew operates a high-draw dive compressor while running the boat's engine to maintain power, acknowledging the noise impact on neighboring vessels.6:32
