Wrecks of Saipan | Part 2 | LVT Landing Vehicle Tracked
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2016
- I set out to find the LVT(A)-4 on Saipan. The project envolves first finding the wreck through arieal recon, then paddling the kayak out to find it.
The Amtrack / LVT would be the only American wreck I would find in Tanapag lagoon - so it was important to get this video up as a token to remember the lads who took part in the Battle Of Saipan.
Can you imaging only being 18 years old, riding on this thing straight towards enemy positions? Scary

What a privilege for you to be able to dive and explore where there’s so much historical value, thank you for demonstrating respect and gratitude towards the men that sacrificed so much for so many. What a beautiful place!
have been waiting for part 2, Im surprised at how shallow it is. Awesome video!!
most shallow wreck of the of the series - next episode is in deep water. thanks for watching!
Beautiful island. My home for 20 years. Can't wait to visit.
Hey awesome video man , I'm a local islander of Saipan and alot of us really enjoy watching historic documentary type vids whether it's official or not. Also Thank you for not damaging any coral on the anchor part, really appreciate it man
Saipan looks so beautiful! Are you freediving there?
Freediver HD your cuts back and forth from story to dive captured the spirits! Thank you for the long closes of the wreck....and research footage. I'm holding back the tears...Our Boys!
I appreciated you diving to check your anchor line out... making sure it wasnt damaging anything on the ocean floor! Cheers
Thanks for sharing in such a special way and thanks to our men for their sacrifice. Never forgotten.
Man I was just there for Memorial Day, Saipan is beautiful and the living history there is unreal. Thanks for posting, if I ever go back I will try to get out to see this amtrac. Keep up the great work, brother!
New wreck vid coming next week! Maybe you will enjoy it.
Man I love these high quality videos and this channel, Saipan is such a beautiful place.
It is I used to live there you should visit one day
+Pewdstheman 670 you live in Saipan
+Pewdstheman 670 Typhoon Soudelor wiped out the island but it's made an awesome recovery
Your video quality is simply amazing.
Yeah its shallow, but it was the only american wreck I visited in the lagoon - so I really wanted to share its story. For those who wanted to see something deeper - The remaining wrecks of the series are Japanese and lying in deeper water. So stay tuned for the next episode.
awesome
I love your videos man you deserve a lot more attention to he channel
Hey am from saipan this was when the storm pass and your at tanapag I was 9 I like going to that ship that was wreck by the storm also I like going on those houses like from world War 2 I found a bomb too!! And I love going to tank beach and marine beach mostly forbidden island and birds island and grotto I also like going to the train near the ocean I like going to suicide cliff and banzai cliff but I left saipan😭and I went to the states I hate it here I wish I could go back I miss my dad my mom and dad are divorce that's why I left and I had this nephew he's chammoro like me and we always go crab hunting in the night and afternoon after bingo and I try to take out that bomb out of the water but I couldn't do it and I like going spear fishing when I was ten years old and when I catch crabs I like bringing it to my dad and he cooks it and we eat
I was at Saipan when the typhoon yutu was there and the small island is called managaha and it’s really cool and beautiful
Great job documenting this find

Gr8 quality dude......sick
My dad was stationed there during WWII. At the end they were instructed to push all the fighting gear into a big sand pit on the island rather than bring it back. He didn't talk about it much.
Thank you for the respect you gave our boys
Finally second episode coming out waiting so long
I am really sorry about the wait! I swear I will get part 3 out a lot faster!
Freediver I am subscribed but I never really see your videos, when you're actually here on Saipan I usually see them like months later but I love your videos. !! I hope to meet you one day here on Saipan cause it's where I live and is home .. keep up the great work!!!!
Love your videos, amazing
dude you should promote your videos more. this stuff is amazing!
Scouting site via drone, locating directions via GPS and then self kayak to site. My kind of adventure. Video production is so good now plus the educational value. Big ups to you for your time and effort. Probably the only remaining recreational (not spearfishing/training/competitive) freedive channel on TH-cam worth watching.
Thanks so much. To read a comment like this makes it all worth while.
What a great piece of history resting under the waves...
Super!!!Very Nice Video!! Compliment!
You make my day, you`re awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great open I think you should add more of these unusual things,
Thank you for sharing,.
Phenomenal videos! I always look forward to watching your videos. Can you share some advice on how you train for your dives and maintain your abilities to hold your breath and C02 resistance levels? Would love to see some videos on this too!
You can download an apnea training app on your smartphone - that will keep you busy for awhile. Freedive training can get boring - unless you have a core group of people you that you can train with, and enjoy hanging out with. Personally, I do not do any training what so ever. I just learned the basic skills, and apply them when diving, and its enough for what I want to do.
I Love your videos! if you ever go to Ireland I'm going with you! Keep up the good work ✌😁🍀
Wonderful videos! What is your time to stop the breath ? Good luck, and thanks a lot!
This is an excellent video again Dean, nice editing and great (constructive) use of technology. If funds allowed (maybe one day) I would plan to travel by boat to likely islands looking for new wrecks. A drone would help immensely with this. Best wishes, Dean
Always im waiting your video mana, welcome to Indonesia in Sulawesi ☺☺☺
Good Upload :)
i can see a shipwreck on the reef please explore it ( the shipwreck) it looks great !
isn't hard to fly the drone with that wind? amazing video as usual =) love how u mix old footage to new to compare and tell the story =)
Real search operation! :-)
wow awesome
I posted a comment but it seems to be disappeared!
Anyway..
Great job Dean! The video is awesome and the colors are great!
Thanks, Freediver, my uncle was killed while driving an LTV there on June 15, 1944.
Hey man love all ur vids , what gopro did you use? And did u use any filter? Flashlight? Or something else? Cheers
awesome video Dean, very beutiful
I love it because it's just shallow 😊😊😊
Managaha I miss Saipan ):
What fins are you using and is rather hard or soft sheet?
cool man
By the way,what's a good budget dive watch/computer to start out with? I'm planning on taking a course.
Been a long time since I looked at the prices of dive computers, my Sunnot D4i was $580 back in 2014...
Hey Free Diver Hd have you ever swam at Ginnie Springs?? or like free dive there?? and NICE VIDEOS MAN KEEP IT UP!?👌👌
I never been to the big USA yet, only small USA islands like Saipan. Maybe in the future ill head to florida.
Friend greetings from colombia Freediver HD ... ¿what is the length and the mark of the fins that you use?
Greetings from Thailand! :-)
This is actually a amtank. The amtanks had m8 Scot turrent on the lvt4 chasi for taking out enemy defenses and infantry support. The amtraks had the engine in the front and troops in the back and was armed with 3 30 caliber machine guns and 2 50 caliber machine guns
It somehow take on a natural beauty of it's own
I would love to see a historical object from any conflict up close in person just for once
Is there any cheap waterproof flashlight that you would recommend (up to 20m is enough)?
orcatorch brand, any of their lights that suit your budget.
Thanks :)
can u tell me what kinda drone you are using ?
It's a phantom 3 advanced
What's the music you used for your Saipan mini series ?
Sorry, I dont have a name. I ripped the sound from somebody elses video on vimeo. I wish I had the name, cause this sound clip is only 1 minute long, I wish I had the full tune and the name!! if anyone know its and could tell me that would be awesome.
Freediver HD thanks m8. I'm enjoying this Saipan mini series at the very least I can hear the song again whilst looking at the video
7:34 Metallica. You've made my day. This Video is great.
Haha. you have a really good eye Rob. Its a 2008 Billabong/Metallica co-branded boardshort.
Do you use any filter on your GoPro?
No
My lovely home
can you comment down the coordinates ?
Deeper version of an LVT - from the Battle of Guam: th-cam.com/video/crRB0Iuzl20/w-d-xo.html
How do you stay on the bottom without floating up to the surface?
Had to exhale, went down with about 25% full lungs.
+Freediver HD thank you alot
Why is there only one?
My Dad was with the 27th Division Army and he took part in moving north fron Tanapang toward Marpi.
well, just that there is only 1 left. You can see another amtrak in the final part of this series, though its on land. You can see another 2 on pervious Guam videos of mine. As for this one in the lagoon, I think the others were destroyed, broken up, disintergrated by typhoons, recovered, etc... who knows.
in you shirt does wawes makes estonia
RIP
Love your Metallica swim trunks :)
Greeat video, i do hope one day i can travel over there. Btw, can you make like bubbles? Idk if u know what i mean, i think there is a video on my channel about that, try it out! Haha, medditerranean sea is waiting for you!
Really great documentation and some interesting infos. 做得好 ^ _ ^
In the first part of this video that area has alot deaths there because drop and bump there head all the way to the and causes them die, so not a place not jump in, nor like the banzai cliff and the other areas
Lest we forget ....
Have u dove the world's deepest pool yet? Called the Y-40 freedive pool and the Nemo 33
No I have not...I think those pools are awesome. If it was outside my house I think I would enjoy going there, but I dont think I would do the travel just to swim in a pool.
GUYS I Love VE IN SAIPAN
looks like a mortar got to it 75 years before you did
Красиво.
Hi
I live there it's pernouced tank pack beach
It’s kinda hard to listen to but we shall not forget those who have died for us
Hey is aida 2 hard or just the instructor just hate kidss hahaha???? (Asking)
The hardest part is equalizing your ears. If you can do that successfully, then the course is quite easy. Holding your breath etc, is quite easy. Thanks for all the comments on the vids. all the best with your diving.
2.5k from land? Poor bastards wouldn't have made it to shore :/
di menit 0:45 ada penampakan sepasang mata d permukaan air laut
😃😃😃🏊⛵
typo
i like your videos they are so cool and you are a great freediver but please.... stop touching anything under the water ;)
Music th-cam.com/video/W6D_k1WHEeE/w-d-xo.html
does youtube pay enough to you for your travelling debts?
No it does not........ that's why I am having trouble to upload recently, because I just don't have the funds to produce videos often. There will be one new video coming soon though, so keep an eye out for it.
Freediver HD maybe you should upload some cat videos...then you will get quicly enough money to provide your trips...i guarantee!
Terminate Tor That is a genius plan bro
Sad to see men killed in that beautiful area. All satan's plan!
