Thanks for posting this. Have been reading Shadow Divers and The Last Dive. I have also been watching videos on U-869 and none of them have show the vessel with the clarity of this video. Absolutely amazing.

Thank you for your comment! We were very lucky with the conditions on that dive and I had enough bottom time to swim along the sub twice to cover it all.

Find any cutlery with Horenberg written on it 😂. Great vis. Amazing to see a wreck I have read so much about. Thanks for posting. May get there one day. Safe diving.

Great video. The wreck is obviously in a rapid state of deterioration. Great to see though.

Thanks for your kind comment! Yes, the other hull is almost gone. But then it's been 80 years since it sank and probably no longer built with the best raw materials in the middle of the war.

Amazingly good video with pretty very good visibility, however, this video could use three things to make it top notch...1) narration, 2) graphics - occasionally in the corner showing the overall wreck and the POV of the underwater photographer, 3) lastly, some appropriate, subtle, dramatic background music would top it off, which would possibly make it an award winner at many Film Festivals.

Great video, nice to see a recent video of the current condition of this wreck. Which month did you dive it and what was the water temperature? Can it be done with a 7mm wetsuit?
@underthesurface_blue Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind comment! Just checked my logbook for the temperatures. It was 44°F at the bottom and 75 on deco. I don't know your personal comfort level, but I preferred to have a drysuit on that dive!

Nice video and some solid conditions! Looks like the current was barely there also?

Thanks! Yes, the conditions were amazing. Vis and almost no current. Yet you never know if it picks up on deco.

That’s pretty good viz. Is that normal for this wreck? Or did you get lucky?

We were extremely lucky with the viz. Richie Kohler commented on the edited version that he's only seen it like that twice in over 30 years.

Nice video. What light are you using on this dive?

Thanks! It's a Diverite EX35 with video diffusor.

What sort of equipment did you use?
@underthesurface_blue Жыл бұрын
Are you interested in the SCUBA part or the video equipment? Dive gear was a rebreather, a KISS Classic. The light is a DiveRite EX35 with video diffusor and the camera is a Paralenz+.

I wonder what the German sailors would have thought of people exploring their ship (not to be accusatory at all, I just wonder; probably would be amused)
@underthesurface_blue Жыл бұрын
I always try to be respectful with war graves. That's also the reason I didn't go inside. I wonder what the sailors thought and knew about their whole trip and purpose... The captain was only 24 years old and probably the oldest on board. Not much time to understand the complexities of politics and life...

Yes, ~55 miles off the coast of NJ. You can find more details in the description if you like.

Thanks so much for the information. In checking a dozen coordinates I see this program doesn't match my numbers. Are these approximate locations?

They should be fairly accurate and in case of the U869 I can confirm that. Have a look at their facebook page, they have some advanced equipment to locate the wrecks.

No, it is off the northeast coast of the USA. That's where some of the subs hit the supply lines.
