what a great video and dive!!! It was a real pleasure to share this experience with you! Gracias amigo!! 🙏🏼🌟

@@EL_JAVIAN_DIVE thank you! I'm very grateful for your guidance during the shoot! 👊

I love this wreck! I did this after my training as my first “fun” technical dive. I absolutely loved it. We ended up planning our dive for 50ish metres using regular air and EANx50 as our deco gas. When we got down to the wreck, we stayed above it and swam around the conning tower and the submarine. We also saw a moray eel longer than 2 metres below the bow! Once our dive time was up we ascended on the line and I got a beautiful shot of our team ascending above, and a beautiful shot of the wreck below. I would highly recommend it, it’s a beautiful wreck.

Beautiful video. That's a lot of work, especially considering all the b roll footage, drone shots etc. I'm subbed

Congratulations on checking off one of your bucket list dives.. you inspire me to head towards tech diving :)

[@DiveSAGA]

Ha thank you!! I was really stoked to finally check this one off! Now on to the next one!!

[@teppicxxviii9744]

Waow, thank you for sharing this amazing dive! With the fading of the colours, it's a bit like travelling back in time. What an impressive scene!

[@brianlloyd4796]

On my bucket list for next year. Thanks for the great video👌👌

[@DiveSAGA]

@@brianlloyd4796 I'm very happy you enjoyed it and I definitely hope you get there one day, it's an awesome dive!

My wife and I dived the Stubborn about 18 years ago. I'm absolutely amazed how much she has deteriorated in that time! The conning tower is almost "see through" towards the back and she is becoming skeletal in places ! When we dived her she was much more intact with no gaping holes at all. This was one of my top ten dives despite the fact we have dived Bikini Atoll AND Truk Lagoon so it's a little sad to see her beginning to fall apart now...

[@DiveSAGA]

@@martinjf467 unfortunately that's irreversible. But in a way it's comforting that she'll be returned to the sea!

[@martinjf467]

@@DiveSAGA it looked like it was quite hazy and rather dark on your dive from the look of the video. We were INCREDIBLY lucky on our dive - we had 30 metres viz and loads of light, and could see her from end to end. We had a bizarre thing going on though - there was a sound not unlike a strobe charging up but much lower in frequency. It kept happening every few minutes. After the dive the boat skipper told us he thought it was sperm whales in the "deep channel" (?) between Malta and Sicily as they search for squid! I'm sad to report though that we went back to Malta a year later with rebos specifically to dive her again and we were let down by the dive shop who were dishonest a-holes! Promised dives booked ahead never happened because they cancelled us over and over again to take out more cost effective boat loads of novices - that despite firm bookings paid for in advance! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, we CERTAINLY did!

Another tremendous video. The quality of your content is exceptional. Truly impressive!

[@DiveSAGA]

@@ralphromano8501 wow thank you! 🖤 This kind of encouragement really means a lot!

[@Bulsajo]

I'd love to see you go to Guam and do a video on my favorite wreck dive, the wrecks in Apra harbour- SMS Cormoran and Tokai Maru.

[@DiveSAGA]

@@Bulsajo Me too! 😀 We're going to need some more video sponsors for that!

Great video. Where did you get the customized hose keepers for your cylinders?

[@DiveSAGA]

@@andrecandrade they're from a company called Deluxe Divegear

[@andrecandrade]

@@DiveSAGA thank you.

[@gabrielerivetti4668]

😍😍😍 Did you also use Tecline fins? They say it’s a great brand… in general, how did you feel using it?

[@DiveSAGA]

@@gabrielerivetti4668 haha I'm definitely not against any other brands, but I have such a long standing relationship with Scubapro and am part of their Global Dive Team do I'm just really, really used to them and love the equipment. I did have Scubapro Jetfins and my drysuit!

[@gabrielerivetti4668]

@@DiveSAGA you also said that in the video😂 scubapro will forgive you no doubt😜

[@DiveSAGA]

@@gabrielerivetti4668 haha it feels like cheating though 😂

[@arminleitner1097]

May you would post your dive profile please!

[@DiveSAGA]

Tmx18/35 and Eanx 50, 25 minutes bottom time.

[@bartbotterweck]

What was your total dive time on this one? Including all the deco stops & safety stops of course.

[@DiveSAGA]

I tend to avoid posting exact deco schedules so people don't replicate without training, but more or less 25 minutes bottom time and hour dive time. Tmx18/35 bottom gas and 50% deco gas!

[@sUroJAPAN]

@@DiveSAGAquestion, why just eanx50 and not add a 100% o2 stage? Staying light or oxygen toxicity concerns due to the difficulty of dive?

[@DiveSAGA]

@@sUroJAPAN yeah good observation! Because we knew there would be some current, especially near the surface, we figured we would keep PO2 lower, even if it took longer.
