A three man Resolve dive team consisting of Ricardo Ormeno, Trent Varnish, and John Hancock began the second phase of work at the Beau Rivage casino/hotel in Biloxi, MS today.

Utilizing a specialized underwater paint, the team will begin painting 35 nodes under the water line on two of the five submerged barges. (A node is the area where all the I-beams meet on the topside of the barge) The team will begin by pressure washing, then sandblasting before the paint can be applied to the nodes.
