UNKNOWN SHIPWRECK, ABOUT 40 METERS DEEP, OLD YACHT, UNDIVED ? by METAMORPHICWONDERS 

Right behind "Two dogs walked into a bar..."lol

Yep, hate em.

Are they're paranormal ghosts

MetamorphicWonders They do that because it costs too much to scrap them. They were considering sinking a ship here in the great lakes with a concerete hull. It was badly designed and the hull was always needing repairs. The concrete got so soft,it was dermed unsafe so they considered using her as a reserve. Apparently that got nixed,so they had to cut it up. The upper hull was reused on another ship, same design, better hull.

@@scottfirman: This is the result when owners have no money for his hobby when repairs are needed ... so sad story.

Ah', that's interesting, because as the camera panned across the outer hull I found myself thinking that this wasn't fibreglass, but concrete! I always thought that was an odd material choice for a hull, but minds greater than mine decided otherwise.

How long has it been underwater?.

Wayne Werff I totally agree. It should be incorperated into dive training that if it is safe and practical to do so.. always cut away and send up these nets for disposal. I have spent time cutting out large fish caught in these nets.

@@MetamorphicWonders love your videos so much hope you keep making new ones just one question did you find this wreck yourself or had it already been found?

Even though

of course !!!!

+Elomento Supreme The water filling the ship could have blown the hatches open by pressure. What condition are the latches in?

+Sennmut one hatch would open releasing the pressure, not all the hatches, once one blows the pressure escapes, and the boat sinks easily, it was scuttled

you are right, the presure of the ship filling with water blows the hatch cover right off. Look at almost any sunken ship and it will have no hatch covers

HooseBinPharteen Many thanks for your interest, its in the Mediterranean Sea.

It's in Greek waters.

They are probably still there but under six foot of sand!

Its a canon G9, in the canon waterproof housing. Quite a large set up but clear picture. I want to try a Go Pro at some point.

The Black buoy line went up about 6 or 7 meters then stopped It consisted of old rope with a crushed buoy on the end, in mid water. The other chap was with me, he was looking for a name but nothing could be seen..... or if he did he didnt tell me....!! I do know that a few weeks later a friend returned to this wreck and cut off all the nets and removed them from the ocean for correct disposal.

good to hear nets were taken care of. looked like a neat dive though.

It was a good dive, It was made of concrete, i am sure we discussed the name, but it was not readable. I also went inside but it was full of silt, lots of bunk beds, i remember that, We found a large hatch about 10 meters off the wreck on the seabed. I hate nets, I have had dealings with nets in the UK in pitch black water and also fishing line... I got my leg caught in line once and if I had not had a knife I would have been in trouble.....

+trinescape yes I can confirm... it is cement .....

+Kathryn Davidson If a fishing boat is dragging a net, and it gets caught on something, it can sink/capsize the boat. Its better to just just the net than risk sinking your boat. There have been plenty of ships that sunk due to nets getting stuck on rocks, or even submarines. No proper captain is gonna risk the ship, his life and the lives of his crew to save a net. I do feel that there should be a system to report lost nets and have them recovered/removed if possible to prevent animals from getting stuck in it.

+esenel92 Good point, I usually go down again and cut these nets off these wrecks, I have seen what they can do even after being abandoned. On this wreck I did not get time to return and remove the nets, but I am sure i remember someone told me it had been cleared after I dived it. Also I have seen these nets in all states .. eg just lost and still killing fish, to being full of dead fish, which rot and eventually the net becomes a mass of weed and debris which the fish can see and then they stop getting caught in them. The dead fish become food for the live fish and the net gets absorbed in sea life and becomes one great big structure. These are also a very big risk to divers, I have been caught in nets in Pitch Black Darkness.. if you panic you are finished. You have to inflate so you rise up, and then when the net gets tight , you cut yourself free with your knife.

+MetamorphicWonders Yeah, nets a a curse to anything in the ocean, and imho governments should work out ways to keep track of nets, and set up something to try to remove as many of them as possible.

Actually those are shrimp nets and are not a hazard to anything unless they're attached to a shrimp boat that is underway.

Kenny Sherrill When we marked a wreck with a bouy , when we returned a few days later the bouy is either stolen or gets detached from the line by the power of the ocean currents... and more lost rope etc is lost to the sea. Most wrecks are on a chart and marked. But there are hundreds of underwater obstructions not on charts. Also the tides can be 5 meters in depth different from time to time. So its difficuilt to mark them. I speak here for the deep dark UK waters i used to dive in. We used to find many wrecks not on any charts. Plus if we marked the wrecks the uncharted postitions would be known to divers who dont play by the rules, and ruined. We used to clear as much net as posible.. but sometimes in pitch blackness they can be deadly to divers as well.

Its that one more foot one more min this is soo cool ....that kills you

Bru Star yes. it was a concrete hull

+Nils Voelkel sorry, No I havent....

+MetamorphicWonders you need a special 3 D software or a 3 D scanner to get the exact shape of the ship to identify it properly

Unfortunately not!! I am sure I would have looked at the stern, but could not get a name.

if your out of time , your out of time.. no time to look.

+Erik Mäki I have checked my log book, and yes you are spot on sir!! 19 meters deep, and yes on air... I have, however, taken the camera to its limit in the past, my other video of the Zenobia .. I have video on the sea bed, i think from memory its about 45 meters deep... i could be wrong. Your observation was spot on for this dive........... I owe you a beer.

+MetamorphicWonders Yeah no way would anyone market a housing that couldn't go a lot deeper than they claim, my GoPro 60m housing worked perfectly at 62m on the Coolidge (on AIR btw, no narcosis cos we built up to it over a few days) and spent a heap of time just under it - then flooded at 14m a few weeks later! So wiping hairs etc off the gasket is the most important thing! Probably a godsend cos 360 video is taking off and it's gonna revolutionise our dive videos - imagine getting back to the surface and watching your video again and being able to look in ANY direction inside a wreck, even behind you.... the just-announced Nikon KeyMission 360 would be perfect except it only does 30m (no housing required but maybe they'll add a deep one?) but I reckon we'll get 45m out of them ;) Thanks for the videos!

+Geoff Infield Geof, I would like to ugrade to a go pro, could you recommend a model for me to look at? I think they have silver or black.. which do you use, my canon G9 is a great little camera, but very bulky, I like the idea of the go pro because of its size. My G9 is a bit outdated now... All my underwater films on utube are with the G9...

Instantly reading his text I noticed he didn't tell us the name of the wreck which would give all his bogus story away.

Look like a lot of overfishing using primitive nets too. All of the fishes are small.

+gehlen52 Yes, you are correct, fishing nets and line are DEADLY to divers, there is a drill if you get caught up in them, inflate your jacket, so you make the net go tight and cut yourself out with a good knife. All works well as long as the snag is reachable by your own arms. If its around your back your buddy must cut you free. I have spent many a dive cutting up and recovering these horrible nets , bringing them back to the surface for safe disposal, to save countless marine creatures being killed after the nets are abandoned. Most wrecks are found by fishermen whom loose nets, if you ask a fisherman he will tell you where all the undived wrecks are!!!

+MetamorphicWonders Biodegradable nets would be a solution but it might well take an Einstein to come up with a practical time, element, and cost conscious formula for construction of such nets.

+gehlen52 Ive been caught up in nets in the pitch blackness with no visibility in the past, on the dive you have seen they were easily spotted, imagine swimming into those in the dark!!! The main rule is dont panic.

And others dreams to start .....

No they probably had scanners on their boat and they saw it and then dived

AW Roche Wreck*

They did, the playboys had all drowned and the coke had all been drunk by the fish, only a few pepsi's left...

Cinexes The Minecrafter Or maybe even a crab boat.

+Cinexes The Minecrafter OR A MILITARY CRAB BOAT XD

Shaboolie Sure XD

Definitely not military. I can tell from looking at it.... Wonder if there's a name to be found on the hull, or if there's some other identifying feature to be found...

Mephiles The Dark It's a ship wreck after all It's just the way it sunk that changed the look of it

Kfas Playz not even close to the Titanic

When your out of time, you gotta go !!

I'm so sorry maybe that's your dad's boat

For qualified scuba divers watching this film a lot can be picked up from the beeps of my dive computer. They could find the audible beeps which occur helpfull as a training aid. It will show if I a dive turns into a decompression dive and my no stop time has ended or if i ascend to fast or breech my ceiling... by the audible beeps. If i had no sound then all this information will be lost and would not be heard. Thats why there is sound on my underwater videos.

When you get to the bottom of the dark void of a hold, and look up.. it suddenly isnt a black void anymore. The area your in has a bit of visability. Looking in .. its a black void, but looking out its not so black..
