An awful lot of ships, subs, barges, etc, were sunk in the Baltic in 1945. The Germans were trying to evacuate as many civilians and troops as possible by sea from East Prussia to other parts of Germany, Denmark and Sweden as the Red army was surging toward the West, and the Russians were trying to sink anything that moved to prevent the evacuation. No one will ever know how many ships were sunk and how many thousands of people were lost. I'm wondering if this might be some wreckage from the latter days of WWII.

Time will tell!

We should have matching drysuits, like these guys!

Or at least a NWDC drysuit logo/patch.

And pictures of us wearing them with our "serious face" on. Apparently that's how you become a professional diver.

(Was it just me or did anyone else start laughing when they flashed this guy's picture :laughing3: in the film clip?)
While it's generally acknowledged that wetsuit divers are a shade or two crazier than the rest of us, we're all special idiots for voluntarily diving in dark, cold, water! - scottsax

I guess it would matter if it weren't a commercial divers harness, and if he actually cared (Which, by the look on his face, he doesn't). 0]

Have you read Scott Sigler's Infected?!? I'm actually a little relieved to hear the movie option ran out because that's a book I don't need to see in living color.
