I try to avoid it, it's deep, dark, creepy and inside the wreck but i say rest in peace and i won't bother you .Its a spooky place

@@BeckyKaganSchott entirely understandable. Thank you for the response.

It really is that close to an island. Some of the crew made it off noto the island before dying of exposure. It's a rick cliff and just plumets down into the depths. The wreck actually sits in 190-270ft down the slope

@@BeckyKaganSchott Wonder why all 9 crew didn't just swim to shore.

glad you enjoyed it

They really are.

They were so close i had to pull my camera back towards me. Curious creatures.

That would be great. I'd love to show the world how amazing Belugas are!

@@BeckyKaganSchott You will have all kinds of researchers and beluga lovers making reference to this. They must have sensed your vibe. Congrats on the amazing video.

P.S.I love the ambient water noise with no music!It's really nice sometimes

@@wirelessone2986 Thank you, it seems a lot of people like that. I was so scared to post with just the original audio which isn't much on a rebreather. I found it kind of relaxing and obviously realistic. Anyway, i don't think the location of the U-97 is known. I'd love to document it.

@BeckyKaganSchott Becky its very relaxing...I dove for years in the Great lakes and ambient noise is so immersive into YOUR dive for me.Also get a go fund me to dive UC-97...I would donate!!

@BeckyKaganSchott OH UC-97 is known but may not be released to the public Im not shure...but A and T Recovery discovered it in 1992 and is on their WIKI page under lake Michigan projects at the bottom of that drop down. I bet Cris Kohl might know what's up with UC-97.

@@wirelessone2986 I figured AandT has it but won't release it. Even for me to document it. I know others are out looking to "relocate" it so we can dive it =) It can't be too deep.

Thank you for your comment and for your service. I'm glad you got to see the Saratoga before she was sunk. That must be kind of surreal for you. Its good to hear you now enjoy diving ships too. there is so much incredible history. The diver in red fins is JC, he probably uses them because they are lighter weight than some jet fins even though he's in a drysuit. I personally was in a backmount rebreather ...a megalodon and i use the OMS slipstreams because they are similar to my beloved Jet Fins but lighter for travel and a little lighter in the water so my feet don't drop (I was diving wet). They are my goto fins for most of my diving though. I have 4-5 sets of fins for different things. I have a pair of Fourth Element tech fins which are nuetral in the water and also really nice. Plus my recreational Mares Quatros.I love those for wetsuit diving but i find they are too long for wreck penetrations. I prefer my stiffer OMS Slipstreams or Jet fins personally.

Becky, OMS Slipstream fins are my dive travel fins when diving warm water in thin wetsuits or rashguard. Very same mold as the Jet fins but, as you know, lighter in monoprene (rather than heavier natural rubber). Hope someday our paths cross, FB Friend!!! Dive Safe!!!

Glad to hear that. It isn't completely silent. If you do listen you hear some of my equipment and gas additions. The rebreathers are quiet though.

Thank you, i'm glad to hear everyone's watching until the end to see the final image. I thought it would be interesting to show what it takes vs just the final shot. SO much goes into it. Like i said i my caption, it took us 3 dives to finally nail the shot.

trimix, rebreathers, wreck penetration, lighting, shooting while keeping track of navigation, buoyancy and watching PO2 ect... for sure!

Glad you enjoyed it! Do you mean the gear we wear specifically? I have some other videos showing what a rebreather is and what it does. It's hard to shoot gearing up video just because we gear up together but if you also check out my video "Bringing Shipwrecks to Life" the sidewheeler detroit you'll see more!

Than kyou and i will do that
