That is a bad a$$ video Barney!! At over 300' I know I'll never do it. Thanks for taking us there!

I stand corrected. You would know! :-)

I looked at Wikipedia briefly on my phone before I posted the first time and saw the Navy thought they had located her in 1949 @ 310 fsw but now after reading the whole entry, she was actually found 24 years later, in shallower water.

Still deeper than I care to go. Thanks again for taking us with you.

Part of such an iconic piece of history that is no-longer taught in schools.

Hey Mike, in the first clip I see some of the divers are on single tanks. How can they do that?

Those are their bailout tanks. They are actually on surface supplied gas and using hats with comms, camera, etc.
