Explore a old huge wreck like this were already scary at land, but here they're down in deep darkness = freightening, but fascinating as well !! Good Job guys, always take care of you !! 👏🤘👍🤞🍀🌻🥰🤿
@BIBIWCICC Says who? I have a license that allows me to hand catch 2 lobsters, 2 crabs and 15 scallops per day! www.devonandsevernifca.gov.uk/product/category-2-recreational-diving-permit-application/
Great video, and even greater dive. I would love if you could add time, depth, temperature and tts as an overlay in a video it would give so much more context on deco and how one minute imacts your tts. All in all great video
@rade6063 Glad you enjoyed it. My paralenz does have the facility to add depth & temperature to the video so I'll do that in future. Not sure how I'd manage deco obligation but I'll see what I can do!
@@D33pUK Hey great to hear, btw is paralenz still in production? It sure makes great videos. For deco obligation I've seen it done on a video of the Britanic dive from 2023 I think.
Thank you for posting this video, especially with natural sound (not overdubbed with eurodance or something 🤣). Very few diving videos keep the original sound but it greatly helps the viewer, especially ones who've also dived a bit
@christianmartin8751 Definitely lawful in the UK (I have a license!). You may know that large lobsters eat small ones so removing big males (like this one) is good news for the others in the area. I'm also firmly of the opinion that it is ethical provided you eat what you catch and don't take more than you need!
@@D33pUK I did not know. The Mediterranean has been so devastated by scuba fishing in the 60s and 70s that it is now absolutly prohibited in countries like France, Spain, Italy, etc. And the "catch what you need" is not really an ethical argument unless you are native people in a native people reservation. In my opinion nature is not a free reservoir for human consumption, especially if the catching method is not fair at all. Free dive and catch, and there ok it would be fair. But not with £10.000 equipment on your back and free 30mn at the bottom with no efforts.
@@christianmartin8751 Obviously I am native people to the UK 😂. We're fortunate that our seas haven't been devastated in the same way as yours. These deep wrecks are covered in life and are only dived every few years so taking the occasional lobster 🦞 makes zero difference. In fact taking big ones arguably helps
@@D33pUK OK removing an ancestrial predator helps nature fair enough. I was talking of native in a reservation in the American and Canadian sense of course !
Recover everything and make certain it’s recognized for the ship which carried it. I would have taken most of the damaged crockery as well. They are neat items to distribute to friends, schools, and museums. I’d love to have one carried to the bottom as cargo.
Another excellent video, I almost felt I was there. I`ve dived a lot of wrecks in the past, 60`s to the 80`s so these vids bring back memories for an old guy.
Happy birthday. That lobster would have been delicious. Another really enjoyable video and a great find allowing you to identify the wreck. If I can make a suggestion can show your dive buddy a bit more, particularly close to the wreck, as it helps show the wrecks scale and perspective. Looking forward to the next video already.
Wow, 100m. That’s a long way down. Do you drop the shot lines based on GPS positioning, and do you leave in place or remove? I notice on your SS Lucent dive, the shot line was on a grapple hook which looked difficult to lift without fouling on the wreck
@@iainhunneybell GPS gets you in the right area and then we use an echo sounder to locate the wreck. The shot line has a grapple to ensure it hooks into the wreck and doesn't get pulled off. The tines on the grapple are thin rebar so they will bend if you put enough force on them
As a lifelong Titanic/shipwreck fan, very cool plate. Thanks for the vid allowing me to share in the experience of you finding it. After watching 3 of your vids back to back, subscribed. Cheers
I never been a diver, and don't think id have it in me to be one, but i've been fascinated by wreck diving since i was a kid and have watched many a dive video, particularly with the advent of RU-vid. This was a great one. It is always good when there is narration. Very interesting.
Pulling up next to the targeted surface vessel in a German Submarine and giving the Crew the opportunity to safely depart in the lifeboats was very civilised. I was really pleased to hear that the entire Crew made it safely away before their vessel was sunk. People matter, vessels less so. Great job on finding the original Makers Plate showing the build details.
@@felixcat9318 those were in fact the rules at the time, attacking a civilian vessel without warning was considered illegal, that is also why civilian vessels only mounted defensive armament on the stern. This event took place in the year when my grandmother was 30 & I remember her talking about one of her brothers who had to 'take to the lifeboats' when his ship was attacked by a U boat.
thanks for the amazing videos. Is the water temp normal? i would have thought it was colder. Here in Nova Scotia, the temps are around 5 deg C at these depths. Last week it was 4deg C @ 45m.
@@peteboyde4375 Yes temperature is pretty standard for the English Channel in August. We do sometimes get a significant thermocline but that disappeared in late July this year. Not sure I could cope with 2-3 hours of decompression in water as cold as yours!
@@simonsays2685 Yes so I understand. I'm expecting to do some diving in the NE next year so am looking forward to the experience! Not sure whether the round objects are train wheels as they don't seem to have a hub or spokes?
@@D33pUK I know they used to put a new outer rim on train wheels, bit like a car tyre but they'd heat the out ring up and force it on to the wheel and when it cooled down it was good as new. Loads of stuff to dive up in the north east 🤓
@@D33pUK If they are just the tyres, they would be fitted to the wheels elsewhere, it is perfectly normal to see stacks of tyres at railway workshops, for example. They would normally be heat-shrunk onto the wheel. The tyres would be replaced once their thickness had worn down to a certain thickness, or if they had received wheel-flats, for example after having had a brake left on.
Great video, brings back happy memories of diving. Your footage and commentary are excellent on both videos that I watched, so I 'Liked & Subscribed'. I bet the lobster tasted good! I dove on the SS City of Winchester which suffered a similar fate, the crew were off loaded and the ship then sunk.
@@chaingunner60 Thanks for the feedback which is really appreciated. Definitely inspires me to create a few more! Not done the City of Winchester but I'll look out for it
Great dive. As a commercial air diver some 20yrs ago, but still doing a bit of pleasure diving its great to see you chaps pushing the boundaries and finding untouched wrecks. Brian from Torquay. Dive buddy of the late Steve Sargison
@@lauradsalas4 You're correct, this plate is the same as those carried on the Titanic but was found on another White Star Line ship wreck, the SS Afric
Amazing Footage Thank you. what I found fascinating was the SS Afric is within the reach of Divers and unfortunately its a struggle to locate Plates that aren’t damaged/ destroyed and the RMS Titanic is out of reach of most and has piles of plates still mostly stacked. Shame no Silver wear was located.
@@hillbilly4christ638 I looked at that hatch and wondered the same. It's a long way offshore though so extremely unlikely to survive unless another vessel picked them up. There are pretty good records from the period but nothing that covers a battle with a sub at this location.
I think the bubble check would be from some body orifice diving to that depth. Kudos to you guys ob the mixed gases. I only ever used compressed air and generally kept no deeper than 50m , only ever dropping down to 62m on one silly occasion.
