Man, as an old wreck diver (from the seventies), I am really enjoying these wreck explorations! You guys are so much more sophisticated and smarter than we ever were. The porthole find on this ship was great - just lying there! Thanks so much for bringing me along on another dive.

Morris, I’m also an old wreck diver from the 70s, I worked on the Great Lakes when I was young…. Which was a long time ago 😅

It's quite possible that some of that coal came from the Colliery in my village, it had a direct rail connection with a scheduled coal train to the docks in Liverpool. So cool that you managed to fill in another page in Cunard's history.

“Relatively shallow” 67 Meters deep. I remember one dive I was at 150 ft. I was so NARKED I saw Bigfoot standing next to me on the bottom.

[@D33pUK]

I know, it's a terrible thing to say ....... but it's true 🤣 This year most of my videos have been in the 80-100 m range so anything less than that feels really shallow! We've got lots of helium in our breathing gas so narcosis just isn't an issue.

[@esits]

Visibility is amazing. These are the dives one lives for. So wishing this dive technology was available to us in the early 90's. I would have been all over closed circuit. So cool how far technical diving has come. Glad I was a pioneer...but a bit on a jealous side now. Oh well, I'll live my technical dives through you.

@@KeyaanMZ We don't have as many WW2 wrecks in diveable depths but i do have a few that I can put together. In the meantime I assume you've watched my U1021 and Lord Stonehaven videos, although they could both do with narration?!

[@KeyaanMZ]

@ I’ve seen both of them - very impressive footage. I’m surprised that so many of the wrecks are so deep, but I suppose most were lost in the depths of the Atlantic.

[@D33pUK]

@@KeyaanMZ During WW2 the submarines were very concerned about the threat from planes which is why operating far out made sense! It was only when they got desperate in 1944/5 that they started operating closer in but those pretty much became suicide missions (U-1021 is a good example).

[@traderalex1]

I have done my fair share of wreck diving off the New Jersey coast, known as Dive Wreck Valley. But for narcosis reasons, I have never gotten deeper than 130 Feet, that's already too deep from my perspective. It does not help to be diving in 45 degree Fahrenheit water with maybe 5 feet visibility. My favorite wreck site is the Danish parcel tanker, Stolt Dagali, followed by the attack transport USS Agol. Both are already well deep, enough. Main deck of Agol is 110 feet (over the side, 135 feet to the sand). I have watched other divers enter the cargo holds, which extend down 150+ feet (hull is partially buried in the sea floor), and have them come back up with problems....

@@scallopdiver Thanks, really kind. I'm amazed by how many people seem to enjoy them!

[@baraazaky7723]

Great video, really enjoyed it. However some constructive feedback is that whenever you point your light at something it's completely blown out in the exposure and we can't see it. I ran into the same issue when filming night dives with a powerful torch. My solution was using two small camera lights ontop of my GoPro. It produces great video since these lights aren't a concentrated beam rather a flood beam pattern. Additionally I actually stopped using my main torch and backup torch after getting those video lights, I can actually see much more with the video light compared to a diving torch. Still have both my torches main and backup on me for every dive.

[@D33pUK]

@@baraazaky7723 Thanks for taking the time to comment and I agree that my main torch does blow out the video which doesn't look great. This dive was filmed on a head mounted Paralenz Vaquita so video lights don't really work well. You may have seen some of my other videos where I have a go-pro mounted on the front of my DPV? I use video lights on those so get much better quality (close range) video.

[@edbridges1164]

You'll find that many older ships and obviously shipwrecks the bridge walls were made of wood so as not to interfere with the ships compass in the wheelhouse. There is a photograph of Titanic where the Wheelhouse has just been installed it's painted whereas the Bridge front and wings were not!

[@D33pUK]

Thanks and yes I'm aware of this which is why it is relatively unusual to see bridge gear!

[@frankd5871]

Good commentary. Noticed a lot of pipe flange ends as if they had been disconnected or did the holding nuts and bolts rust away? The foofoo valve (a valve for all occasions) has the flanges showing unlikely to be a spare part as with the pipe flange ends how is it not connected? 24.07 43.23 (how a conger bites) - took a lot of force to break off that pipe. The pipe part you lift still has the end piece bolted on but the flange is clean - no rusted bolts. Have noticed in stuff I've found that the bolt is rusted into the flange hole - held in tight. Seems like parts have been removed. Perhaps the collision happened in that area. There'd be little pressure in the steam system if the pipe from the boiler to the engine was broken so it's unlikely that steam pressure caused the flanges to seperate. Lots of tube/rod like pieces seem too small OD for steam pipes. Thanks for making the video and making it available, again good commentary.

[@D33pUK]

@@frankd5871 I think you're correct that the flanges were held together with iron/steel bolts that have rusted away. Almost every deep wreck we dive has pipes & valves that look similar to these so I think it must have been a common thing!

[@matt01506]

I noticed the small/medium conger in the video and was wondering how big the largest conger you have seen on a wreck was. (The British record was set in 1995 133lb 4oz)

Do you ever do a shallow second dive like normal scuba??

[@D33pUK]

No, not only would it be a bit of a damp squib but the logistics would also make it very challenging. As an example it took us two hours to get to that wreck so that's four hours of travelling plus another 3 hours for the dive. Another dive would make it a really long day!

What you identified as a possible clamp, looked like one half of a brass/bronze shell bearing. Did see lots of green brass or bronze pipes, are you allowed to remove these, or just not interested? Not for the scrap value, but for possible recycling projects?
