It’s amazing how high watching this video spikes my anxiety 😬 even knowing that 1) I am not the one in the cave and that 2) y’all obviously made it out safely since you are posting the video. 😂 Thank you for sharing.
Another key point is that air has 21% oxygen. When we breath we only use 4% so 17% is still left over! A re-breather can use this oxygen again, but in a traditional SCUBA it's just lost as bubbles. This is why you can be underwater much longer with a re-breather.
You guys are from Pittsburgh and you dove the Doria?! I'm amazed, I didn't think there were any of those kinds of divers here in landlocked Western PA, nowhere near an ocean or the Great Lakes wrecks. My dad used to dive off the Wahoo back then, he was from Lancaster and got his certificate from Smokey's Divers' Den, he'd go to the local quarry to get certified or practice and get used to his gear, then he'd use the Wahoo to dive the San Diego, Texas Tower 4 and the Almirante. He never made it to the Doria though, but he was working towards it. He was married with 4 kids and a full time job, and my mom was very unreasonable, so he had to give it up, not enough time or money to do it. I've wanted to do it ever since he told me, but I find myself in the same fix, except my wife isn't as bad and I don't have kids, but same area, not enough time or money, and it's harder and more expensive these days to do that. I owned Lost Liners but it was Ghost Liners that got my dad talking when he took me to a book store to buy books, I chose that one. And the Doria was in that one as well, same author too.
Rest in peace to those who died on this ship. May they all be kept in our memories, and may we remember all those souls who perished on The Great Lakes.
Imagine being awaned from your sleep, and suddenly the wall is the floor, and finding a way out, in the dark, is a challenge. In a lot of old shipwrecks, women and children did not survive, because it was women and children first...the rickety old lifeboats would get smashed against the side of the ship and all souls were lost. Also, the long heavy skirts made it impossible for even the strongest swimmer didn't have a chance.
That would require on-board electrolysis. While technically possible, it is a slow process. Now that’s just with pure water. Electrolysis on salt water produces different biproducts, sodium hydroxide and chlorine, which are both not something you’d want to breathe.
@@flakdampler11 I was thinking free oxygen in the water. as for the CO2 we breathe out no Cl. but that's just the miracle I thought a rebreather did. I thought they had figured out how to be a fish.
@@flakdampler11 i imagine size at first. i bet the military already has such. probably classified beyond top, top secret. theirs might desalinated the salt water, using either a membrane, or catalyst, or enzyme, or electrolysis to get the oxygen out of water. lol.
No, not a crew member, but it was a shoe with fabric straps around it. I remember seeing that and trying to puzzle out why they would have wrapped a shoe/fabric around the mechanics, but it seemed intentional, not necessarily a result of the wreck. That’s purely speculation though. 💭
It's so rare such through footage of a large wreck's interior. Amazing job, I often think that one day on wrecks too deep or dangerous smaller more capable mini ROVs can be used. Give it 10 more years and we may have that capacity. Excellent work.
Hm, you could wear neoprene socks that would keep your feet warm, but the only thing I know of that keeps you totally dry when submerged is a drysuit which wouldn't be practical for surfing...
Congratulations!This documentary was beautifully shot.I will check out other wreck diving vids you all produced.Thank you very much for sharing this and the very fine work you put into this project!!!!!!!
Cool video. I’m not a diver but I heard about ccr’s and was so intrigued on how it would work. Also glad you brought up how pressure increases as you increase depth, something someone like me never would have thought about.😀
Cave diving is an extreme sport, but like all extreme sports with the proper training, risks can be managed and the sport can be enjoyed. There are many avid cave divers that explore this system on a regular basis quite safely.
If the lake gets low enough it might be a good idea to pull it up and put it in a museum in the area so nobody comes taking pieces or damage it in any other way.
Jenny didn't ask to be scared twice ;( Thanks for the video. I needed it broken down to fully understand. There's a lot that goes into diving. Its a fascinating hobby to learn about before i even commit to it.
Lol Jenny is very jumpy! and glad you liked it. We want to do some more videos in this series. There is alot to learn about diving. The first step is getting that open water class and just getting in the water!
Nice video. What would be dilution ratio of water and vinegar to remove saltwater corrosion and for how many minutes the part should be exposed to the solution? BTW, I subscribed to your channel to learn how to proper maintain my regulators. Thanks.
There are not any dead bodies in Ginnie Springs. There have been divers that have died while in the cave however they have all been recovered and returned to their families. In addition even if there were bodies I would never film and put them on youtube.
