For those that don't know, this ship has been identified as MV Marina, ex Warna, ex Warina, a Polish general cargo ship built in 1968 at the Bulyard Shipbuilding Industry shipyard in Varna, Bulgaria with a gross registered tonnage of 2,466 tons. It was purchased by a company in the British Virgin Islands that used it to ship concrete around the Caribbean. On August 14th, 2000 the crew reported that they were having issues with the ship taking on water in high seas off of Tortola and they abandoned ship. The next day a plane flew over the ship seeing that it was still sinking. The next day a salvage crew went out to the ship and noticed that one of the seachests was left open, managed to close it, pump the water out, and tow the ship back to Tortola where the original crew stripped the ship of all it's valuables, then departed again. No one knows exactly what happened next, but we can all see where she is now. The owner died in 2001, so we have no explanation as to why they wanted to sink the ship.

Thank you for posting the "Dive Detective" series with Mike and Warren Fletcher. I'm fascinated by what is hiding below the water. This is a current mystery. The Hamilton and the Scourge is a mystery from the the 1800's. I'm looking forward to watching this documentary again too.

So this is interesting. Where I live we had a bit of a problem, as we had had an asbestos abatement program, but nowhere to ship the abated asbestos. It sat in containers for years with nowhere to go. A guy I know, who had been a ship's engineer on vessels that plied the Caribbean waters, came up with what I thought was a rather wacky idea. He'd arrange for a South American country which still accepted asbestos imports to agree to take it, then hire a ship to take it down there. However, at some point on it's journey he'd have the crew declare an emergency and abandon ship, with the vessel mysteriously sinking. Yes, almost exactly the same scenario as we see here. That engineer knew stuff.

@slartybarfastb3648 6 ай бұрын

The problem with these over-dramatised 'documentaries' is that they intentionally leave out key facts. "Mike must go it alone". As they show two other divers ready to go. Who filmed Mike as he "went it alone"? Had he "went it alone", he would have broke the cardinal rule of diving: Never Go Alone. With credibility of the video destroyed right there, why bother watching further?

I am 1 min in, so i wont disagree but benefit of the doubt could they have meant hes the only one with the expertise to figure out what hes looking at in terms of their investigation?

@slartybarfastb3648 6 ай бұрын

@@ginnygin7141 It makes me wonder what else is factually incorrect. No one knows what ship this is or when it sank? I highly doubt that. Someone would notice their cargo didn't arrive. How many ships this size and age disappeared along that route over the years? Not many. The southern Caribbean is one of the most heavily surveilled regions on the planet. A huge ship doesn't go unnoticed, or it's sudden disappearance.

@slartybarfastb3648 6 ай бұрын

@@ginnygin7141 It turns out there was no mystery at all. The ship was built in Poland, renamed Marina and began taking on water off Saba in 2000. The crew abandoned ship, was rescued and the ship prevented from sinking by rescuers who found it was being flooded through an open valve. It was towed to Saba. The owner was contacted and the ship was released to the crew. It left harbor and sank shortly after the crew once again abandoned it.

@slartybarfastb3648 Well, they concluded that it was an insurance scam, and that the boat was purposely sabotaged to sink, but that doesn't make sense because how can you claim insurance if you never report the boat as sunk or missing. I dont really understand what they're trying to say happened tbh.

As an open water diver I find it strange that anyone would have multiple decompression issues. Each dive at depths requires planning of tank mixtures & decompression stops with appropriate air mixtures for the bottom time as planned. I assume it's all just fake drama tbh, otherwise one is going to have a short diving career.

The ship looked to be in an absolutely horrendous condition at the time she was taken under tow. From the dive footage it was obvious that she had been stripped of whatever was considered to have had a resale value, including the mattresses from the Crews beds! She suffered a not unfamiliar fate, being intentionally sunk by dishonest owners, rather than by being disposed of in a responsible manner, itself a potentially expensive undertaking.

Then he cried about his insurance rates being ridiculously high. For my truck and trailer with $250,000 load insurance was $980 a month. His was damn near twice that amount. Pure theft.

If bro can't dive a basic depth without "dying" maybe don't dive. What a terrible documentary this was.

@L33tSkE3t Ай бұрын

It wasn’t just about the depth, it was about their decompression time and the amount of air they had on them. The longer they stay at depth to explore, the longer they need to gradually decompress so they don’t get the bends and this isn’t a “Basic depth” because a basic depth doesn’t have a minimum decompression time and they very well could have died of the bends if they did anything incorrectly, like stay at depth for too long, not allowing for enough decompression time and not having enough air on them to allow for the appropriate steps of decompression at various depths. It was foolish of them to try and push their dive time but, they were prepared to handle it.
