Scuba diving inside an abandoned nuclear missile silo in the middle of the Washington desert is not an every day occurrence.
Diving down 110 feet into the eerie and intriguing chamber has to make this one of the most interesting and fun dives SeaproofTV have been invited on.

For your information that missile site was built over an subterranean lake, the water started to appear in 1963 and the military tried to pump grout to stop the water from rising, they could not stop the water from rising and I suspect it was from the weight of the concrete pushing down that caused the water to come up, I was stationed there in the 568 missile squadron

I've been in there. There are 2 others. Warden, and the Batur scragg titan silo wich is now a museum. All in my home land of central Washington. There are also 9 other titan silos, vertical launch, across eastern Washington. Mostly private. My first trip was about 20 years ago. The one these guys are in is on the Columbia basin aquifer, hence all the water. The Columbia basin irrigation project also added to the extra water (grand Coulee damn).

Two things... First do do this type of dive, there needs to be a line with markers from the surface, just as if they were penetrating in a wreck dive. Second, due to this type of diving for safety reasons they need a secondary air supply and lights with each diver, so this could be either back doubles or sidemount, and a primary flood light with secondary hand held. Thankfully we see one sidemount diver at 4:48. Please anyone who watches this video do not attempt any overhead unless trained to do so.

The surface is straight up and a non-overhead environment. There is NO "penetration". There is a bottle staged at 15'. What makes the need for redundant air supply here any different then any other OW dive night dive? IF it was an overhead environment I would agree with Matthew statements.

there is at least one silo where hydrazine leaked from the fuel tanks and the silo (533-7) was decommissioned before proper cleanup since hydrazine is water soluble and very stable under standard conditions there is a little risk but even that mentioned silo was at least cleaned somewhat - they used nitic acid to oxidize the hydrazine slowly

They were called Titan for a reason. Site 724A (where my father was killed at during construction) is next to the Arapahoe land fill near Denver. They were considering removal of the unground facilities. No frickin' way. They are a massive complex of hardened reinforced concrete designed to withstand a nuclear blast. It seems they scuba only in the one of the silos. There are other ancillary underground buildings. This is an underground city. It took 4 days using a special diamond tipped saw to remove one door so they could retrieve him and that was a mere 116 tons. Good luck trying to destroy this beast.

Yeah the water would equilibrate with the concrete and it would be similar in pH to a limestone cave dive. Which means low iron content in the water as you need acidic water to carry iron in large amounts. Organics would be diluted and broken down by heterotrophs. I still wouldn’t drink it but that’s why we have skin.

One of the outfits that will take you down there says only for experienced divers with 'advanced certification', although I don't know what that means. Recent documented cold water dives are also required. Although that's not specific, it's a dive for advanced divers, not beginners and intermediates. There are several groups that will guide the dives (WA state). If you contact any one of them I'd sure they'd tell you exactly what is required to go on the trips.

If you've been in a house or building built before the 1980s it most likely contained asbestos! Not to much to worry about unless your stirring it up!

Noah Parkin it's not like it's friable and there's a wind storm down there. If it's not disturbed it's not going to pose a threat. Not to mention, the asbestos in that environment is all likely soaked to to the facility being flooded and the high humidity the flooding causes.

e near Austin, my new dive buddy mentioned that there was a decommissioned nuclear missile silo that was dive-able in Texas. If you know me, you will know there is no way I am leaving Texas without diving it. So I got on the googles and turned up the interwebs and found Valhalla! ya'll an't the only one

The blast doors about 60' above the water surface have a few pinholes in them you can see light through from either tolerance in bolt holes or tiny slivers of cracks between mating metals, but it's DARK in there. I don't think fish are going to survive...and there's some industrial smells in the place anyway...kinda smells like hydraulic fluid.

Groundwater. The water table in the area is about 110' above the bottom of the silo. Also covered in the other posts above.

What @mattcwatkins said. The silos were deliberately flooded with diverted groundwater when decommissioned, it is not a natural phenomena at work. It was intended.

Neither on purpose or accidental. It was build in an area with the water table at 30'. When it was an active site they had to use pumps to keep the water out. When they decommissioned the site they took the pumps.

Tucson was a Titan 2 training silo with a single missile. This is 568-C Titan 1 silo with three missiles. Titan 1's were an intermediate and short-live style that had longer range and upgrades from the older Atlas, but still had to be raised out of the silo, fueled, and then fired...taking about an hour. Titan 2's were ready-to-fire and took off in less than 2 minutes from their underground position.
