I am sitting on my sailboat in the Bahamas, waiting for the storm front to clear so we can sport dive. What better way to spend some time than watching one of your awesome deep diving expeditions! I have to say, penetrating the wreck at that depth is really gutsy! I am so blown away by the explorations you are making. Dive safe and carry on.
Another amazing dive, and my favourite spot of a dive. The engines are towards the stern of the 4 boiler rooms. My very favourite spot 😊 And much as I love deep wreck penetration and have been in and around many engine rooms, at near-on 90m and with so much gear, you rather make my heart stop 😮 That fishing net on arrival at the bottom of the shot line. I shudder at the thoughts of entanglement. Remember, keep safe. I want to see many more of these 😊❤
@@iainhunneybell Thanks very much for taking the time to comment and I love this area of steam ships as well. We're always thinking about minimising risks but also appreciate the concern. More videos in production!
@@ericvadekro8334 Thanks - for most of us this is the culmination of years of going just a little bit deeper & further so I don't think it was something any of us planned! Once you start doing it though it becomes incredibly addictive
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 !! 👏🤘👍🤞🍀🌻🥰🤿
@s0upra536 Well to start with you need to go with someone who has a license from the Irish government so that should be your starting point! After that you'll need to have the training, equipment and experience to safely complete 90 metres dives in low visibility, temperate and tidal waters. Is that you?
@@D33pUK Thanks for the update. Pleased my memory isn't totally shot 🙂 A friend dived on the wreck many years ago. He also told me he dived on the K Class submarine wrecks in Scotland. He was a technical diver, used a rebreather. Sadly he passed away about 12 years ago.
Most of the gear is pretty neutrally buoyant. For example CCRs have large gas spaces in them (counter-lungs) and cylinders with a high percentage of helium may even float. It is important though to have a wing that provides a lot of lift of the surface as the gear is heavy and in case it floods.
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.
@@CliveReddin it's tough to know what the right thing to do is in that situation, but I think it would be amazing to have one of the skulls in my collection! What a piece of history
@@BD12 It isn't really. How would you like a family member treated is about it. My grandfather survived the sinking of HMS Amphion, in WW I, I sure would have disliked to know his skull was on someone's mantle than with his ship and shipmates.

@@Morrisfactor Sounds like a great place to be but stay safe from the weather 👍🤞

In a word, it must be surreal to be at/in the wreck site. Know that I am vicariously living a dream through your footage and experience.
The ship was sunk by a German u boat during WW1 taking almost everyone down with it with the exception of a handful of survivors.
Brilliant footage, thanks so much for posting.
Thanks!
Very impressive… 700+ dives (600 cold dark waters) but I’m not sure I would have the nerve to go that deep and dark. Some serious diving
@@ericvadekro8334 Thanks - for most of us this is the culmination of years of going just a little bit deeper & further so I don't think it was something any of us planned! Once you start doing it though it becomes incredibly addictive
I am just curious but at what depth do you guys draw the line? Or might think "this might be a little too deep"?

@@Daness74 Thanks, appreciate the sentiments!
@@D33pUK 🤗✌️
Great video
Thank you - it was a privilege to dive on the Lusitania
You wouldn't get me down there !
I'm considering diving this wreck, what are some things to be aware of?

@@D33pUK I think so. Thanks for replying!
watch out for all the ammo the Americans filled the holds with to supply the British during the war
I saw a documentary years ago, where an American had claimed ownership of the wreck. (No not the Titanic) Was this ever the case?
@@markdavis2475 Yes the Lusitania was owned by Greg Beamis. Just before he died he transferred ownership to the Old Head of Kinsale Museum

This is amazing! Question, at such deep depths along with the CCR and deco tanks, is the lift of your BCD and Drysuit heavily affected?
Most of the gear is pretty neutrally buoyant. For example CCRs have large gas spaces in them (counter-lungs) and cylinders with a high percentage of helium may even float. It is important though to have a wing that provides a lot of lift of the surface as the gear is heavy and in case it floods.
@ ohh ok, thanks for clearing that up for me! Always love learning from better and more experienced divers!

Amazing. Thanks for sharing this incredible footage. Do you ever spot objects on the footage afterwards that you didn’t notice at the time?
All the time! There's so much going on underwater that it's often difficult to take it all in .....
Sounds like a cat fell asleep on a Casio keyboard.
Yes, I'm going to make another Lusitania video with commentary rather than with pretty rubbish free music!
It would be incredible to find some skeletons down there!
waiting for pieces of this ship to be brought up
I agree that it's the right thing to do and look forward to them all appearing in a museum where everyone can see them!
her portside propeller is on the albert dock in liverpool i think another was melted down and turned into something else
@@pepperycorns and the other is somewhere in Dallas Texas
One would think that with so many dead on her, one would respect that and not do a penetration dive.
I pay my respects to the dead in a different way.
@@D33pUK As you wish.

@@CliveReddin You're right, I hadn't thought of it that way. It might make sense to raise a couple of the other skulls so that they have company
