South Pass

A remake with background music.

The Prinz Eugen survived the sea battle with the Hood
and two atomic bomb test blasts and final resting place
is upside down in Kwajalein Lagoon.

An amazing dive with the ship's stern out of water and the bow at 110 FSW
the divers are dwarfed by the enormity of the underwater structure.

With the development of small HD video cameras and LED
lights, we are able to see into the torpedo room without
penetrating the wreck. Safety is a prime concern.

Special thanks to the Kwajalein Scuba Club and John Pennington
who led the adventure.

Kwaj

What a great way to offgas after a deep dive. The lee lagoon side has some incredible coral, did not see the lasagna noodle type coral on the reef, the edges are like Yoshi Blades. Water appears nutrient rich judging from the hair algae growth

Last good day before close of grouper season

After the war (WWII) these SBD Dauntless dive bombers were decommissioned (stripped of usable parts), loaded on a barge and sent to their final resting place in 100 feet of salt water on the bottom of the Kwajalein lagoon. These planes saw valiant service in the Pacific theater in now sit in an underwater museum like setting. These were carrier based planes, note prominent tail hooks.

Exploring the South Pass Canyons, someone gets a surprise

Watch to see who shows up

No software color correction, just manual white balance on the bottom. Sad to say, but the creature looks like it may be declining a little. The tents are floppy and there is a slight dusky cast to the color. The water is at least 2 degrees F warmer and the usual current is not as brisk. Let's hope for a little cooler water and better conditions.

Year later: youtu.be and another view with wider angle I'll try to post later Video of one of the red carpet anemones off Kwaj's Emon Beach - Thanks Ivy for guiding me and sharing camera duties. Returned a year later and all is well. Some fast motion video youtu.be

Surgin' the surge on Carlson Island Reef, wish there were more footage of divers swaying back and forth in the current like the shot at the end
