Magic stuff

Amazing footage once again Max

An amazing video, what an experience ! In video this was just beautiful so i can't imagine in real life ! Thank you for these magnificent pictures 👍

Thank you Max for posting this. WOW, so much fish life on these two wrecks. Your footage is spectacular as always. I really enjoyed watching the two stingrays swim through the wreck! How/where did you get the diving marks/GPS for the wrecks? I did my honours thesis on the wrecks around Magnetic Island and found that most divers hit that region for the fish life. I'm not sure if you'd enjoy a read of it - I can send you an electronic copy if you wish). I assume it would be the same for Cairns. You said in the video that few divers dive the shipwrecks there. What gives you that impression - are there few facilities to go diving on the wrecks? Are there many operators that would cater to divers from down south coming up for holidays? Did you hire or trailer a boat to North QLD to dive these wrecks? I'd be interested in knowing. Thanks again for putting these videos up for us all to see. I trust you got my recent email. Cheers Garth.

Great video Max still need to see the polyps at night. Kev

Excellent film. Coincidentally the British Sunderland Flying Boat was also called the 'Flying Porcupine' due to its toughness in withstanding attacks by German Ju 88 heavy fighters over the Bay of Biscay off France. Just a slight correction, you use the term 'seaplane' in describing the Japanese 'Emily', it is a 'flying boat'. Flying boats have a lower hull shaped like a boat as in the 'Emily' while seaplanes are modified land planes with seperate floats attached in place of the undercarriage. One Kawanishi H8K 'Emily' survives and is on display in Japan, captured by the US at the end of the war, it was returned to Japan in 1979. Thanks for posting the film.

awesome video, i wish you guys could do a video on the peak and 12mile. not sure the 12 is doable but the peak is.

The engine parts at 6:11 could that not be part of the steam engine from the other wreck as I would have thought the diesel engine would still cover the shaft

Another unbelievable video I remembered seeing all this stuff in national geographic many many years ago and thinking I would so much want to go there myself and do what you are doing but alas it was never to be 😢😢 So I watch whatever I can and your videos are just next level

where can i download the soundtrack?

great stuff, new subscriber here.

What a screw up given the calm conditions and visibility. Hard to imagine a captain of 50 years making this mistake.

Two words; Great White!

Well done Best doc yet of SS Nemesis I am an ancestor Alf Russell and possess purported panel from the ship washed up on Cronulla and picked up by my grandfather and Alf Russell’s brother James Joseph Russell . Nemesis was a controversial ship to some regarded as a dangerous ship that should have been retired while Huddart engineer regarded at the Magistrates Inquiry as seaworthy. Strange trivial fact I found from research great grandfather William Orrell soldier was on Iberia when it collided with Ss Nemesis which would take my great grand uncles life firemen Alf Russell

On Shark attacks, The Anti-Aircraft cruiser USS Juneau was Torpedoed and left behind by the other US Ships in the squadron, The Squadron did not break Radio silence so no rescue efforts were attempted in the immediate. Many of the Crew had survived the sinking but were victims of Shark attacks. Also, The 4 Sullivan Brothers were on the Juneau and perished which changed US Navy policy regarding Brothers serving on the same Ship.

Excellent, thank you!

Love watching the blue groper in the shallows here. Thanks for the vid

WOW! Amazing! great work Max!

Interesting story re the Hoki Maru, she hails from the same firm of Denny & Bros who completed the build of the famous clipper ship Cutty Sark after the liquidation of her contracted builders, Scott & Linton. Completed at Dumbarton.

I'm an aspiring Ocean Cinematographer/ Underwater Film Maker and this was a great inspiration to me! So interesting to see how the sea forms around such a large man made object over time!

Hi Max and Leslie from Garth Henderson. I miss your smiling faces at Shiprock Dive! This is great work Max and Leslie, such great footage and narration! I love it. Please keep them coming. Do you have room on your trips for other divers or are they solely for filming purposes? I'd love to travel with you both one time and experience these dives as well.

Great footage, love how the original film was mixed in with the dive , 10/10 :)

Icy go fishing they're in my young days. But I've got to say common sense why you need to be so close to fcking shore anyway.

My father was one of the divers who salvaged the anchor that was in front of Malabar RSL Club.

What a good little video of the Malabar and all the original films The ocean there is absolutely brutal , how quickly it was destroyed I was thinking maybe the smaller engine is the trawler that crashed later The Malabar engine is massive It looked quite a chore to be diving there with the very strong ocean currents 👍👍

Excellent work. It's really sad to see such lovely ships smashed on the rocks

Fabulous history.

Thank you Max for another excellent video

Vessel going overseas did carry a cheap spare cast iron prop.

DUST TO DUST......IRON TO IRON OXIDE

You know, fishermen use to help to tow distressed vessels stuck o. Bars, then the INSURANCE COMPANIES SAID 'NO'.

0:17 - Burns Philp .

I recall back in the 80's. With the sewer outfall so close. I never actually dived it, nor wanted to. Glad the deep ocean outfall came about. Looks like a great dive for local divers. Keep up the great work with the shipwreck series.

A great video as always

very interesting video

Thank you for posting an excellent video. What was your dive profile? You mention depth of 60metres, was this a deco dive? What gas mix was used? Was the video posted filmed on one dive?

PBY better!

It saddens me that one of the only constants in human history is the brainwashing of young men, sent to their deaths, for the benefit of old frail men and their bank accounts. War is stupid. Thank you for keeping the memory of these mistakes alive. If we don't remember we will never learn.

Another fantastic video on a very interesting place One that’s fascinated me all my life

This is excellent work. I just subscribed to your channel.

Max et al: recall being in the library studying my insane pre med studies..and tired, look for a diversion and saw a Truk book on wrecks..it started my fascination on undersea wrecks..maybe you have a similar story? anyways..the gun footage is incredible..thx for posting your well crafted videos..

The Chinese have raised many of these ships in recent years to recycle/reuse/salvage the metal and steel. They have salvaged HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse almost entirely. The Chinese salvage vessel Chuan Hong 68 is specifically designed for salvage and has desecrated many wrecks for their pre nuclear steel.

When the Nagano Maru was launched in 1917 in Nagasaki, Japan was one of the Western Allies against Germany. Now the ship was a victim of the changing politics and different Alliances between Japan and Germany that used up Japanese people and vital resources.

Your videos are truly amazing. Fantastic job, mate.

Magnificent video

Brilliant. Utterly brilliant

Very good video max

Another brilliant video

Another excellent documentary Max ! I was for many years the master of the Steam Tug Wattle which is equipped with the same chain steering system as the SS Undola. What stands out to me is that the rudder of the wreck is fully at 90 degrees to starboard. This is a compelling clue that the steering chain may have parted as it most unlikely that the rudder could ever be turned to such an extreme angle in normal use.

That is fantastic footage and I remember watch crusto films and so much wanting to experience it myself The best I managed was snorkeling at point peron which was pretty good
