Re: Black Sea wrecks
Since I see a couple of guns in some of the shots I assume that these are probably WWII wrecks in the Black Sea? Near Sevastopol, perhaps?
Can you tell us anything about them? History and depths? German or Russian?

Now! Wait, I need to get some classes first... And, a new breather, perhaps... And a few deep dives on it... Okay, let's postpone this for a few years. :(defied wrote:When are we going?

Here is a link with Google translation. This is somewhat 'pidgin' English, but the description of wrecks reads okay.John Rawlings wrote:Since I see a couple of guns in some of the shots I assume that these are probably WWII wrecks in the Black Sea? Near Sevastopol, perhaps?

Briefly, the first one is Russian WWI sub Gagara (Google translated it as "Loon"), sunk in 1919, depth 200 feet. Second one is British sailing ship "Agnes Blaikie", sunk in 1855, depth 276 feet. Third one is Russian steamer "Lenin", sunk in 1941, depth 312 feet.

Those all sound tasty to me.
