Bikini Atoll Wreck Diving

[@turdferg9703]

I think it'd be cool to go to the spot where they detonated castle bravo and see the huge underwater crater it left.

[@RealBelisariusCawl]

Cool, yes. Horrifying? Also yes.

[@igorpshenichnikov519]

I’ve been looking for footage from any dive to the bottom of it for years! Feels like I have to go there myself and make that dive for a sake of youtube!

[@thetropicaldream5933]

This area is still highly radioactive today. Did you guys use Geiger counters? I’d should imagine this would be very dangerous.

[@InsiderDivers]

It has not been radioactive for a long time. But, you cant drink the ground water which still has some radio activity. No to local coconuts and crabs too. But we do not need anything local on our liveaboard ship anyway.

The IJN Nagato was a battleship, not a destroyer

[@InsiderDivers]

good spot. I subtitled it battleship but the audio says destroyer. oops. Would be nice if YT would let us update videos.

[@c.patricksadowski9959]

During 1954, 1956, and 1958, 21 more nuclear bombs were detonated at Bikini, yielding a total of 75 Mt of TNT (310 PJ), equivalent to more than three thousand Baker bombs.

[@yuryskrip5500]

I cannot figure out how you can confuse the battleship with the destroyer. Both Nagato and the Arkansas are battleships.

[@InsiderDivers]

That was a mistake on my part. It has been pointed out a few times. But unfortunately you cant update a video on KZbin. Very sorry

[@andrewdo4424]

the uss arkansas was a wyoming class battleship, not a destroyer. awesome video though

[@InsiderDivers]

Hi Andrew, you are wright. That was a mistake. Would be nice if YT would let us update videos.

[@cefruin]

funny, another channel had a guy claiming that he was the only person authorized to lead dives there. But I guess Truk master does too.

[@InsiderDivers]

there are only two boats going there as far as I can tell.

[@Coolhand99au]

Fabulous video Simon Very nicely filmed great story Beautiful part of the world

[@milun3000]

26 atomic bombs went off.. all the nature got blown to pieces.

[@InsiderDivers]

Thank you!

[@stephenviles792]

Very cool video thank you for the post!

[@diogocatalano9557]

Nagato was a battleship.

[@InsiderDivers]

correct, our mistake!

[@a1abaodonaldvictorp.690]

Kinda expected a pineapple to appear at the bottom 🤣🤣

[@MikeDodds]

You know, the only thing that would have made these dives any better is if you were rocking an Apple Watch Ultra and a kickass pair of split fins!!! 😂

[@bob80q]

the Arkansas is a BATTLESHIP

[@318rachelm]

Amazing Video. Top of my bucket list of dream dives!

[@InsiderDivers]

Thank you Rachel, strongly recommended.

[@thomasharrington1477]

one could the top of your "Chum Bucket" list

[@thomasharrington1477]

were there any SpongeBob jokes made before going under the water?

[@Crazycool2548]

I think I’d be cool if they try find the Krusty krab Or a pineapple under the sea

[@drhambone1598]

Children of the Marshall Islands were born with sponge like bones from the radiation of the 46 nuclear tests there. SpongeBob is based upon that story...truly disturbing when you think about it

[@jimboadams8520]

I thought it was still too radioactive to dive there

[@InsiderDivers]

There is no radio activity in the water, not even on land. Only in some of the ground water under the island, so you cant eat local coconuts or crabs. but we are self reliant on our boat anyway. Join us in 2024 www.insiderdivers.com/bikini

[@netsavermmppisonet2917]

[@rainbowrunner1550]

[@nickkoelle9674]

The contamination of the Marshall Islands is one of the things I hate about America

[@digitalcatto]

If u study the history of American interventions across the world, year by year, it will give u more reasons to hate it.

[@KareemHillJr]

Where SpongeBob at

[@theycallme4799]

Music from a porn, misinformation, the video was pretty, albeit wrong.

[@InsiderDivers]

if you watch a lot of porn - you probably have heard most songs out there.

[@clorisadonaie7811]

🇲🇭

[@aleksandr6500]

Такое красивое место,там люди жили 2000 лет,и пришли американцы и всё из гадили!!!!!!!

[@digitalcatto]

I'm glad to see, that when we fuck up the planet long enough to disappear, life will once again open up its way. 💕🥹

[@InsiderDivers]

well said
