You are correct! If you check out at the end of the video, on the footage of the Saratoga sinking, you'll see that it went down stern-first (the last part seen on the surface es the number 3). That said, divers who got to visit it on the early days (Brad Sheard for instance) comment that the stern section, including the hangar (or hanger) deck was still there with planes inside. Definitely the main impact was there, as it is nowadays collapsed. Lastly, there are more details on de detonations on the Intro video (link on description) and when we close the series there will be a video solely on Operation Crossroads to go deeper into these types of details. Thanks a lot for the comment!

Oh! There’s always one more! I didn’t know about it… I’ll add it for the Spanish version of the video and of course it is now I my bucket list! Have you dived it?

@@InternationalScubaDiversClub No, I haven´t! I was close to joining the first expedition in 2009 but couldn´t. I have an expedition vessel in the Baltic Sea, and we are operating within reach of this wreck, so we have ideas for going there.

Please ping me on our IG account to keep talking! your comment sparked a conversation in our team, now we have a new objective in mind! Welcome to the ISDC Marcus heheh :D

Thanks Martin! this one went out and started on the Nagato video right away! I so glad this one was well received, thanks for your comments!!

Thank you for your comment!! More to come! 💕💕

You are so welcome! More about to be released! 💕💕

Thanks for the visit! Now let's work on that Nagato video!

Many thanks!

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!

Welcome to the club! I'm so glad you like the format! It takes a lot of work to research and put together the history section (specially in wrecks like this one 😅) but it delivers a better rounded story right?

Thank you so much!! The Bikini Series should be a good one! (Did you check out the USS Saratoga solo video?)

Hi Oleg! thanks for the comment! Yes, there was a team from the boat that we used that made parts of the dives with us in OC. We used them a lot as models :) and of course they did shorter RTs. Also given that Helium is an expensive commodity over there they were not using much He. Funny enough I was waiting for someone to make that comment! :D

I wanted this particular video to be something different! so, thanks for the comment!! Now, Nagato and Prinz Eugen should be similar!!!

Thank you Didier! those clips were somewhat of a find, and I have some more in store for the next releases hehehe Once again thanks for sharing your footage too!

Hey! Thanks for dropping by! James was a couple of weeks later with the Divesoft group!

@@InternationalScubaDiversClub love your detail, schematics, history, very comprehensive yet concise. You do a great job, keep it up!!

Thanks a lot!! Hopefully it'll get better and better!

Thanks David!! Glad you liked it!

Gracias!!! A ver cómo sigue!

Thanks for the comment Diego. It was truly something else!

Thanks!! Tried to make it as condensed as possible! It turned out well 😀

Thanks Peter!! this one was not "concise" per se heheh (believe me I tried!)

Thanks Bud!! some day! some day!

Oh wow!! do you have any pics? did you do it with recreational profiles or tech?

David!! Great “reading” you! I’m stretching to release Saratoga by the end of next week! So far it’s looking promising!

arriba! si necesitas algo pedi nomas!

fijate que hay otro video de la usina tambien

Thanks a lot for the message Martin! Glad you liked the format! Saratoga will be out soon with some surprises!

Thanks so much for your comment!! This was indeed a pinnacle trip, so we need to honor it with the best posible videos!! 😅

Thanks for the comment DDA!! I may need to borrow some footage from you! :P

Glad you enjoyed! I trust the USS Saratoga will be out early next month!

Gracias!! el miércoles sale la version en español!!

Lo que viene es lo mejor!! jaja

hopefully it'll be out in the next few weeks!! cool graphs and UW images coming!

Thanks for the feedback Oleg! I was a bit concerned about doing a video without much diving in it... but if I didn't then it would be repetitive for the rest. Context was needed! Now... The best is about to come!

@@InternationalScubaDiversClub Yup, definitely good to make an intro to the series to avoid repetitive chunks. Look forward to seeing the rest of them

Glad you liked it!! USS Saratoga coming up!

Thanks so much Jim! have you checked the one from Bikini we just uploaded?

How are you my friend! I still owe you a visit to Bermuda! (damn covid messed up everything!) we most definitely had a the greatest time with the team, Aron and Dirty Dozen!

Thanks so much Peter!!! They are done aiming to have the best quality we can, always with a hint a amateurism :P

Eddie querido! gracias por el comentario! desde ya que esto se hace con toda la pasión del mundo!! El miercoles sale la version en español en el otro canal (@ISDCenEspañol)

I'm so glad to hear that!! It's been a couple of years for me and can't wait to get back!!

Thanks for the comment David! I have a video on the towers with the newer format on back order hehehe. Soon enough hopefully we’ll release a nice video on the 3 Teneco Towers sites! Stay tuned! That said, yes! The deep Teneco is a great site!

Leoooooooo 😜

We have the draft version of that one ready actually!

Fábio! Seja bem-vindo!! Obrigado pelas palavras e espero que curta o resto dos vídeos. Neste momento estou trabalhando numa série sobre a expedição a Bikini Atoll, esses vídeos vão ser muito legais! Grande abraço e estamos em contato!

E falam português ainda? Perfeito! Vídeos de alta qualidade! Vou acompanhar todos

@@fabiolopes5834português, espanhol, inglês, francês e mais! Hehehe e por isso que é “International” 😂😂

Thank you Fabio! Glad you enjoyed it!
