Tanker vessel underwater inspection by divers.

Tanker vessel hull inspection near Colombia coast. Air escaping from stern tube is wartsila air guard system. Aft seal in stern tube is without oil and pressurized by air. Therefore it is not possible that stern tube oil is contaminated by water. In stern tube main engine circulating oil can be used, no need to replace by VGP environmental friendly oil.

At some point I fell into the water just feet away from the side of the cargo ship, and I remember rolling over and opening my eyes and seeing the blurry shape of the massive hull of the ship descending into the darkness.

We took a swim call off Catalina Island (southern California coast) in 1992 from the USS Ohio, SSBN 726 nuclear submarine. Me and 4 other guys were crazy/brave enough to jump in. I was surprised that it was moving! We had to swim pretty hard to get from amidships to the bow up front. We then body-surfed up onto the bow to get back aboard. No way was I going to climb up the ladder against that sinisterly-dark hull, probably crusted with sharp stuff! Damn that was scary AF. Can't believe I did that! A buddy of mine volunteered to be our shark watch. He was roped off and standing up on top of the sailing dive planes with an M14 keeping a watch out for us. Thanks buddy. Oh, and I almost forgot, but a pleasure boat was so curious they got within 100 yards to watch us. It's not every day you see a gigantic nuclear sub on the surface with hot dog cookouts and swimmers.

@@betelgeuse3653the thought of being sucked into a 13 foot propeller after watching a massive ship sail directly towards you for several minutes... In deep open water😳😲 terrifies me!

[@jamesshunt5123]

@@betelgeuse3653 I think it's a human primordial fear tied to the time large sea creatures could devour you without a trace. Most land animals fear going into the open water - for obvious reasons because they're evolved for life on land and are mostly helpless in water. These giant ships are just floating above you and therefore subconsciously become these "large sea monsters" especially if they're covered with barnacles and algae. Here's another thing: If a human stands on land and sees huge trucks and such pass, or even trains of several thousand tons, they don't feel as vulnerable. Why? Because on land you can always run away from the danger. Or hide. Or seek some short of shelter and protection. In the water however... you can't swim away nowhere near as fast as you can run on land, you can't hide and there is no shelter. Human vulnerability is very apparent in water. When you then combine the rusty and decaying metal of ships which make them appear like "decaying corpses" it exacerbates the creepy feeling. So it's little surprising a human in the water can feel awfully small and vulnerable right next to a giant man-made object. Would you swim in a pool which was made of metal and now is rusty and decaying? It would be an unpleasant experience. Would you swim in a dark, deep pool knowing people have dumped cars there and and all kinds of metal junk which shouldn't be there? Probably not. Therefore swimming in water with a lot of man-made, metal objects, like a harbor or right next to a huge ship in a harbor is equally unpleasant. Even if the ship doesn't move. As for diving and seeing a giant ship propeller right in front of you. It's dead still, however we as humans are all-too-aware of how they work and their immense power. Obviously the very thought of thinking *how* it works is going to make a person feel uneasy under water. People instinctively jump aside or backwards whenever a wild animal like a lion suddenly lunges at them in a zoo. People don't think "this thick glass or steel cage will protect me". We just instinctively react as if we're being attacked - even though we should know we're perfectly safe from the lion. Perhaps this explains the reason for submechanophobia. Human vulnerability in water as a primordial fear + giant manmade metal objects in this water + said objects decaying in the water + human imagination going into overdrive driven by all this.

It's amazing to see this in clear waters. My experience in the strait's of Malacca where it meets the South China Sea are fighting currents and dealing with low visibility. These vessels are so big that you can get lost at the flat bottom circling looking for light shinning from your underwater tender or the ship's vertical side, hoping and praying, whilst your tank get's critically low. For the time's we used surface supplied air via an umbilical, it is a cross-country goddam sprint to the bow as we address our audience of the condition and texture of the barnacles and whatever eco system that's developed on the hull via a close circuit camera, hand-held, connected to the umbilical systems, balancing between breathing and speaking into the audio system and of course pretending to be like a bloody astronaut. Out of 5 dives, we might bail out on one just because the currents are too strong, though we still tried, or some other fuckery. Jellyfishes perhaps. The thin line between life and death is stretched out into just a handful of factors including overworking and underpaid of course. Most of the time we're working alone under those vessels. Whether it be scuba diving with an Olympus camera in an underwater casing or scraping off the marine growth with a scraper, we're all pretty much biting down on the mouthpiece and hey o let's go.

[@TheCavinhas]

Me too! I just think that I'm the only one

[@iwanroberts5297]

It's called submechanophobia

[@secretagentviper8382]

I would love to do this, even just once, to swim around a ship that massive, it's amazing to see how much displacement it has, btw I never been on open ocean in ship, or lived near ocean.

[@Will_Grow_Plants]

You may just have a career waiting for you lol I don't think there's a waiting list to make a lot of money doing this.

how are you not scared of that propeller???? it gives me so much anxiety just by watching! lmao

[@invisiblerevolution]

Ya'll act like... they just randomly start turning. That would be like... being afraid to change your tires, because you think your wheels might just start spinning.😆

[@brrrdrrd]

@@invisiblerevolution Well I can't really explain it but the sence of being in the same water whit the propeller freaks people out, mabey the size or the idea. Depends whit person

[@vrajput.9585]

i love it man... watching big moving ship or propellers are so satisfying in underwater.

[@MrTigerlore]

How do they ensure nobody starts the engine while the divers are down there?

[@weltvonoben]

Awesome scary footage with great music

[@saiborg5801]

Everybody gangsta till the diver from ‘finding nemo’ heard you hitting the boat.

[@VladooDIY]

I find the way, that almost everyone (including me) are terrified of this, very interesting. You can stand near way bigger thing (mountain, building ...)that this ship and not feel that fear. Surely due to water , I guess.

[@vandawoodman4305]

Probably the fact that if your in the water it's down beneath you submerged in the darkness you don't know what's down there what's sttatched to the underside of the boat that's accumulated over years in not to bothered about this but if I swam up to a big ship like this and there was something to hold on naturally I'd want to be hauling my legs up too and holding them out of the water as its knowing your legs are under water next to the unknown that's abut uncomfortable also co,ws down to knowing what's under the water if you could see is so huge and potentially intimidating but u can't see yet you know it is

[@goofyahhuncleproductions42069]

I dont know why but this doenst scare me so much. The thing that scared me the most was at 6:33 there's like a tiny hole and I thought the diver would dive into it and I got claustrophobia. XD Tight spaces are scarier to me than giant underwater things.

[@jmartin9785]

I have a little bit of claustrophobia but i can go into a box or really a lot of places just not here

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

My fear isn't so much of tight spaces per se, but getting stuck underwater and drowning. Like that poor guy who got stuck in a cave while diving I could do this no problem, I love ships and am familiar with vessels and boat engines. But diving or free diving in underwater caves? Tight tunnels? Heck no!

[@Meatislife]

Was just waiting for that prop to start spinning lol

She is in passable condition. I would dry dock her for hull paint. But ship owners are so cheap they will let it go way too long. Nice Video;

[@gurukural4970]

Respected The Doctors, The ships settled and level up the engine to stand. It's Functioning great. Thank you very much.

[@pablosamuel9823]

This is one of my biggest fears. I would never do this. Once I'm under it, might get in panic immediately. Looking inside those compartments is even scarier.😥 This ship is huge.😳

I wish I had some decent camera gear when I was diving 35 years ago. Would have had some awesome footage. Not in the greatest shape now and with age I no longer dive.

[@mocko69]

that music doesn't help my underships anxiety.

[@philmay7834]

I thought this would freak me out, but once they were underwater and inspecting the hull it was not that bad. I think it’s more when you are one the surface and you’re beside something so huge, and you look underwater and this thing just disappears into the depths. I think being in the water and having a huge vessel sink by you and you just see it sliding into the murky depths.......shit, I’m giving myself the willys. Yah, it’s definitely the size and the dark ocean that gets me.

[@sovtanks1945]

It’s so cool but scary at the same time

[@b_jaylo3593]

Personally the propeller is the scariest part Imagine been next to that propeller and it just starts spinning ...... no thanks 😭

[@NathanChisholm041]

It would never happen! For one theres lock out tags on the bridge and tthe ships don't just start up it can take hours off prep to get them up and running!

Very interesting to watch. Can one indicate what score the hull of this vessel gets? To me it seems ok. Imagine it can be worse, but also it can way much better. Obviously a new vessel will look better.

[@bonyface]

It is still pretty good one. One year after drydock. White stuff on the hull is where barnacles trying to survive 😁

[@mariadelacruz1153]

This doesnt scare me. Machines in natural settings(sea, ocean etc.) doesnt freak me out. What freaks me out are machines in artificial bodies of water(pools, tanks, wells), like a drain in a deep pool or a turbine in a tank, eeek.

[@noelvandijk1917]
