SS Thistlegorm - The Red Sea's most legendary wreck

[@davidwhite2207]

Thank you It was a pleasure to watch in slow motion on dry land compared to bubbling around this wreck which I did in 1993 while being lucky enough to be on a live aboard boat

[@diveandtellastory]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelmuir4548]

Great video very atmospheric thanks. I'm not a huge fan of wrecks but I must admit I loved diving here some years ago.

[@diveandtellastory]

Thank you Michael - This wreck is indeed unique. I myself am more of a "bio diver". I often focus on filming the "inhabitants" of the wreck. For example, SS Thistlegorm came across such a fellow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIK8fq2hfK6laa8

@@diveandtellastory that's superb. These characters can be so funny and I've come across turtles in some ridiculous places in the past. Another great video, beautiful images and I look forward to watching more. Great work.

Thank you very much for making such a good video. I really appreciated you listing your gear. Next week I will be in Egypt and I will dive to Thistlegorm. Your video is an inspiration.

[@diveandtellastory]

Glad it was helpful! Have nice dives!

[@ChrisCampionDrummer]

Trippy! Thanks for sharing!

Imagine being a fish, never having to build anything in your life and homes just dropping from the sky

Was able to dive this in june 2021. Amazing

[@diveandtellastory]

Very special wreck indeed!

Thanks for your review Aleš! The SS Thistelegorm wreck must have been in better condition 30 years ago ...?

I used to have a BSA. What a waste of equipment and life. Good video nice new undersea world created by the wreck.

Holy WOW!! The Video quality is amazing!! I just returned from a trip in November and that puts my GoPro Videos of the Thistlegorm to shame lol. Time for new hardware for next trip in June!! :-) Edit: Well I wont be upgrading to anything like your setup after pricing it up!! :-(

[@diveandtellastory]

😂😂😂 Thank You Terry - Just keep diving and shooting. You will get good quality with GoPro with video lights and a small tripod. And use fins as little as possible...

[@bbz149]

Thanks! Just upgraded from 2500 to a pair of 5000 Lumens Lamps and added a Hero 7 Black to go alongside the 4 Black and Inon Wide angle Lens with Mounts for both Cameras! Also invested in some float arms. I'm back in Egypt in June and will be happy to shoot a Video half the quality of yours!! Really surprised this Video has not a lot more views!!

[@diveandtellastory]

@@bbz149You new setup sounds interesting and compact. The video quality will *not* be significant difference to big and bulky camera systems. What comes to video views there is no guarantee of viewing amounts in KZbin - at least on small channels. But we do this mainly for our own pleasure and it is always nice if someone else likes the content too. I wish you Terry a very nice trip and happy shooting!

@@diveandtellastory can you explain what you mean by using fins as little as possible? :)

[@Javier-perez2000]

Hello, what is the configuration you had on the camera? I have a sony 6500. Thanks.

[@diveandtellastory]

Hi Javier, details can be found in the video description. I'm happy to help you if you have more questions.

[@daylightman8459]

Did you see the LMS 8F’s near the ship? Every British railway enthusiast knows about the sunken 8F’s of the Thistlegorm.

[@diveandtellastory]

Hi and thanks for your question. Yes, I've seen the locomotive (or what's left of it). It is outside the wreck at the bottom. The remaining part is mainly the boiler and the frame. I might go see it next week if the currents allow.

[@tub4977]

Amazing job!

[@diveandtellastory]

Thank You Tub!

[@dr.dolphin4300]

Is this salem express ?

[@diveandtellastory]

No, the MV Salem Express lies near Safaga and S / S Thistlegorm sank at the beginning of Suez Bay.

[@charlesdufour4571]

😊 bravo trés bon film. ( j'ai vu cette épave il y a 30 ans ) ce qui est malheureux, c'est qu'il y a des gens qui ont été démonté des pièces de moto. Au lieu de prendre des photos et des vidéos seulement. 👀👉 effectivement il y a toujours des connard dans la vie.

[@diveandtellastory]

Merci beaucoup! Malheureusement, mon français est un peu rouillé donc je vais répondre en anglais. Unfortunately parts have been stolen and it's outrageous. But still this is a unique place to dive. Hardly anywhere can you find such a collection of vehicles left in place from the war.

[@laplongeevaroise6680]

Hello Dive and tell a story I'm writing this comment to you to have information about the lens you useful in this video because it at a viewing angle at the top.

[@diveandtellastory]

Hi, thank you for your interest in our equipment. In this video we used Sony A6300 + 16-50 mm with Nauticam WWL-1 wet lense. This gives you a 130 degree viewing angle. We also have a setup with WWL-C which also gives you the same viewing angle.

[@jannelievonen5458]

[@salehamustafa1965]

Never forget that the world is a temporary place and a test The life of the world is nothing but a game and a diversion. The abode of the hereafter-that is truly Life if they only knew. (Surat al-'Ankabut: 64) Never forget that everything on the face of the earth is created for a purpose. It is a most definite fact that everything you see around you serves a special purpose. There is also a purpose for which you and the rest of humanity exists: He Who created death and life to test which of you is best in action. He is the Almighty, the Ever-Forgiving. (Surat al-Mulk: 2) As the verse above explains, Allah placed man temporarily in this world to test him. He tests us with what we experience in life; He creates this life in order that believers may be distinguished from the non-believers, and by which they may be purified of evil, and worthy of the reward of Paradise. In other words, the world is merely a testing-ground where we can earn the good pleasure of Allah. Allah has made clear the limits to observe, and the behaviour by which He is pleased or displeased. Accordingly, a person's temperament in this world determines his rewards or punishment in the hereafter. Therefore, every single passing moment brings us closer to either Paradise or Hell.As such, never forget that you are being tested, even right at this moment, and that the result of this test will determine your afterlife. Also, never forget that this result is very near. Allah reminds us of this fact in several verses and warns His servants against that day: You who believe! Heed Allah and let each self look to what it has sent forward for Tomorrow. Heed Allah. Allah is aware of what you do. (Surat al-Hashr: 18)
