We always hear about cops, first responders, firemen putting their lives on the line selflessly to help others. I think divers who do a search and rescue/recovery should also be added. For those guys to go deep in oceans or lakes they are also risking their lives. They are prone to losing oxygen, getting lost themselves, fear and panic can sometimes get ahold of them. What these guys did here, is wonderful. I’m sure the family is grateful as well.

This video actually brought me to realization of how important it is to retrieve these bodies to an emotional stand point, When they came up in the individual, it was a different type of sad seeing them just out there on the floor abandoned while marine life passes over.

Yes. Just think of how awful it is for the people who sank with the Titanic in 1912. Their bodies never got recovered, because it took 73 years just to find where the ship was, and the decomposition had already unmade those unfortunate people. And then there are the 5 guys who descended to that same place in a submersible on the 18th of June of 2023. The pressure crushed the capsule as if it were a man stomping a Coke can flat. But even worse, much worse. The pression did NOT "only" crush the vehicle until it got flat. It actually IMPLODED it into pieces, and it was so brutal that it took just MILISECONDS. And EVERY person and object INSIDE suffered the same fate. So, the five guys got torn into lots of tiny pieces and spread throughout the area. That will be very difficult to recover those people and bury them properly: their bodies are reduced to may tiny pieces, spread throughout a large area, surrounded by absolute darkness and so deep inside water that only very few underwater vehicles can even reach them. EDIT: At least the guys inside the submersible died so fast that they didn't have time to feel any physical pain when they were crushed: the whole implosion took only 3 miliseconds, and their brains would need 20 miliseconds to even process any sensorial input from their eyes, ears, pain receptors or tact. They died before they even felt the damage from their injuries. But there was an alternative that would make those guys suffer very much: the submersible could have resisted the water pressure and got trapped under the sea, with its air oxygen supply slowly dwindling; the five people inside would be confined inside that could have suffocated to death, what would be a terrible fate; to make it worse, they could suffer psychologically long before the lack of oxygen affected their physical health (they could feel fear, anger, hope, doubt, boredom and expectation while they awaited for rescue); someone on board could do something stupid out of anger/desperation/fear, leading to more trouble for everyone (destroy the controls, crash the submersible into some obstacle that could trap or destroy it, attack someone else...); if someone died long before they ran out of oxygen, but without destroying the vehicle, the survivors would suffer with the stench when the body started to decay. It is easy to imagine some horrible alternatives for the implosion while still sticking to realism.

Much respect to people who do this job and for the people who have to find guns and knives in murky water and other dangerous places to help police solve possible murder cases. Thank God for all of you and I pray hard for all of you who have been deeply affected by your discoveries. God bless you all.
I concur! SOOOO much appreciation to these type of “divers”, I know you can’t get used to finding and seeing things that disturb you (I.e dead bodies…). It’s unbelievable that we have people willing to do this type of work. Not even dead bodies. An old rusted car in deep murky waters is creepy enough. They even have balls to do recovery work when there’s big ol nasty gators in the water. I hope they get paid well.
My dad used to do this, recovering bodies from the water. He told me some freaky and grotesque stories. He had to recover several below a dam over the years, but then he stopped going down there when something swam by him that was bigger than he was.
@@dartmaster501 Yup.. that happend in indiana in the Ohio River. Lady drove her Camaro off of the bridge. When they divers went in the water and got a visual of her Camero, they swam down to realized it was a catfish.
Respect! This would activate fear in me 10k fold to be a first responder, alone at a dark, cold bottom of the world. RIP to the lost, respect to the finder and peace to the family whom effected by the ordeal. God bless you all.
I don't care what else is going on in the world, you have to know that you're blessed to live in a time where individuals you don't even know, would potentially their own lives to recover the remains of someone else's loved one who is already dead. No matter how bad things may seem, there are always an army of individuals out there who uphold humanity for no real personal gain
It’s always a tragedy seeing what is usually a beautiful and peaceful setting in the context of someone having lost their life. The fact we don’t have context on who the lost soul is makes this even more sad, and it makes you think what could have possibly happened for them to end up like they did… rest in peace :(
I bet this is a few decades of therapy..how living humans can deal with this is unbelievable....my utmost respect to those of you who undertake such a grim task.
The work of these people is incredible. They are heroes to me, they really are. We're used to heroes saving lives, but these folks are bringing closure to families who thought they'd lost any chance to say goodbye in a personal way. They really put their lives in danger and even many, sadly, are left down with the corpses just for trying to help families in need... My heart and strength are with them at all times.
When I die I want someone like Sam Hyde to take a shitty Geo Metro and do a FAT burnout on my head .

Many years ago when my mother was a young teen, she decided to skip school and go swimming at the water plant. She jumped in and hit something and up popped a body. Would have been too much for me
It's so terrifying to see it just laying on the floor like that. Not floating at all or bobbing in the current even a bit. It's just such an unnatural place to see a human in that way, it feels so unreal. I just know that at this point the body has been saturated by the element. It's like the water just took them.
Incredible. Didn’t want to watch this video really yet the opportunity to see the (surprisingly) reverent recovery of a dead body off the ocean floor ... well, I just had to do it. An excellent reminder that no matter how ‘Fd’ up the world is, Life is still precious. May The Force Be With Us All!
Some years ago a high profile tragedy but kept low key recovery was the Challenger explosion, the cabin was still intact. Since everyone know who perished, the details where not made public out of respect for the family members.
@@chloekit4861 If I had to guess, most of it was blunt force trauma. Some of them survived the initial explosion, but definitely would’ve passed out from the g forces. None of their bodies were reported intact
Half of the crew did pass out at the moment of explosion. Other half was concious till the impact. When they recovered the cockpit, a crewmember fell out back into the water and it took the divers some time to find.
I shook hands with each crew member when they came to CU to learn how to turn the Pioneer Venus satellite around to look at Halleys comet. Theirs were the most impressive handshakes I've ever had, and I've shook many famous hands. They were each incredible human beings; stellar. 💫❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@chloekit4861 They certainly became a mass without much consistency, that is, they were no longer bodies in their entirety while some had great internal damage and relatively intact externally (hardly). In such cases, factors of rapid deterioration do not leave much left and destroy what remains.
Used to be a rescue diver 18 - 26 years old. Almost no visibility, cold water. Under ice, caves. Saw a few dead people under water, one face to face at near zero visibility (I'll never forget that), and had some close calls myself. It scared me but I didn't think much about the lives behind those bodies. Now I'm older, more aware of my own mortality I'm more terrified just watching a video. Strange how our brain works. At least it taught me to stay calm in the face of horror. Probably the most important thing in and under water, not to panic.
Does anybody happen to know who this person was, and what his or her story happens to be? It is heartbreaking to have to deal with any loss of life, but these divers really go out on a limb; often, even risking their own lives in the process of recovering the bodies of the fallen, in order to, simply, bring closure, and peace of mind, to the grieving families, and to allow each of these unfortunate souls the opportunity to be respectfully laid to rest. Some of the dives that these people do end up being incredibly challenging and involving significantly risky environments to navigate through, based on location alone, but then there's also the added level of complexity to consider, that coincides with body retrieval, and the immense effort it requires to raise a deceased body to the surface. It can be an incredibly daunting task, with exhausting amounts of physical labor, yet these brave divers knowingly put themselves in harms way, sometimes even at their own financial expense as well, just so they can bring the dead home, to be properly laid to rest, and to bring the closure to the affected families, that is so necessary in order for them to begin to heal from their losses. These individuals truly deserve FAR more appreciation, recognition and commendation than they, currently, ever seem to be given. Their work really is quite heroic.💜💚
@@denni7173 No, that happened 1994, this happened 2009 and Norway does not share coast line with the baltic sea which makes it impossible for Estonia bodies to end up at the norwegian coast.. Dont spread misinformation like this, show some respect please.

@@salterplus9205 hello from 2022 i am here in the comments section after watching this body recovery video after initially watching a video of the challenger disaster and absolutely baffled to read this with my own eyes.
Shout out to those divers that are always there to serve police officers and families etc. looking for bodies and for clues thank you for your bravery God bless to all. 🥰🤗🙏
When water temperature is cold 50s and below bodies are in essence refrigerated and bloat stage is slowed. In that case ocean scavengers have nibbled enough sometimes to open the body cavity so cadaver never floats to surface.
Was The Deceased Weighed down with something? Why didn't the Body float? "In the arm's of the Angel's to the Soul gone Home" To The Family Closure. To The Divers you are Hero's.. I salute you all. Kindest Thoughts To You And Your Families from Australia
Contrary to what movies show, a body in water will initially sink immediately following death. If it's been there a while, the composition of the body will then change, allowing it to float. I'm guessing this person hadn't been dead for very long. May he rest in peace. 😢
Looks like a peaceful place to rest in peace. Im not sure Id want to be recovered from a place like that. It's so natural, in a back to the earth sense. I think Ocean burial is the best way to lay bodies to rest.
I know this is 8 years too late, but I have a general question - how did the body remain at the bottom? A person will float in water, unless he has weights. And a deceased body produces more gas that’s why those found in the ocean (unless in overhead environment like ships) would float to the surface
@Slim Cloak You are mostly correct. A body will sink at first. However, different environments have different outcomes. Bodies of water above 40 degrees F allow the growth of necessary bacteria and microorganisms to grow causing the body to become buoyant. Bodies of water that are colder than 40 degrees F do not allow the growth of bacteria and microorganisms so without that buildup of gases the bodies stay submerged. One of the more famous shipwrecks on Lake Superior is the Edmond Fitzgerald which sank during a storm in 1975. When search and recovery divers searched the ship they did not find any of the 29 bodies. In the 90's a guy wanted to make a documentary about The Fitz and he went to video the wreck using an underwater rover and unexpectedly ran across a number of bodies, still in good shape, a few yards away from the actual wreck. He wanted to use that footage in his documentary. The families fought him and got the site designated as a grave site. The site is now surrounded by alarms that warns the Coast Guard, and anyone caught in that area is fined $800,000.
@@hunterbiden7391 Awesome songwriter and singer. He has many good songs but he'll forever be connected to The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald because that song lives in so many hearts.
As a Divemaster part of my training is to understand buoyancy, positive, negatively and neutrally. In order for an object (in this matter, a person) to stay buoyant, the object has to displace water greater in weight than the weight of the object itself. When the weight of the water being displaced is less than the weight of the object the object will be negatively buoyant and thus sink. The weight of the water being displaced can also be the same as the object of course and in this case, would be termed neutrally buoyant. Other factors that contribute to buoyancy is the type of fluid one finds oneself in, like saltwater v freshwater, salt makes us more buoyant. One's tissue fat content makes one more buoyant also, when a body produces gasses it inflates and thus displaces more water also.
How do the bodies seem still so intact? Wouldn't being submerged in water cause it to just flake off like wet paper? I'm surprised it hadn't attracted other sea life also.
Depends on the conditions of the water in question. Bodies in Lake Superior are famously well preserved due to how cold it is down there. The video also didn’t specify how long this person was down there.
I recall seeing one drowned victim on the deck of a sunken vessel, and they looked absolutely perfect, albeit dead! It was utterly surreal, but thankfully depradation and decomposition had not yet taken place. The Divers that entered the bridge of Estonia had a much more horrific encounter, and theirs was not a body retrieval tasking.
120ft you had 13 mins to bag the body? You did a safety stop at 15ft? Any deco at all did you exceed recreational limits? Well done. Sonar was sweet such a clear image.
Even if I wasn't found. Eventually my body would decompose and be eaten and go I to the food chain and ecosystem. I really believe the sould would have been at ease if could move past human experience once passed. To the divers however, the families physically still here most definitely wouldn't have closure so salute to you doing what many, majority wouldn't. One day I hope to do recovery and rescue diving myself.
The circumstances look tremendously interesting how this came to be and not even tropical waters but the Norwegian coast guard has treated the issue so respectfully I will follow their example.
What you do for whatever reason for you, family, friends, those who ask for your help- and you will be needed and I would be grateful someone chose to do this. So what someone chooses to do is their choice, not yours. Thank everyone who goes to work or volunteers, all are appreciated and needed.
I tried looking this up and could find nothing about anyone missing/dead from KV TOR 334. All I could find was regular info including its current location. I think this is a training video. I thought that as soon as I saw the “body”. The knees look hinged. If this is not the case please post what happened and where you found your info as I can find nothing about this.
yes thank you! i just went down an hours-long rabbit hole trying to find out more about this case, but found absolutely nothing. so now im thinking that this was probably just a training mission using a dummy. but if not, i'd like to know the details. and then i would also like to apologize for calling the poor soul a "dummy."
@@reiner5593 this is not related to the challenger . If it was though plenty of people would care . It still weighs on a lot of people’s minds 34 years later
It’s a meme from the SCP community. From what I can remember from the document there is a river of floating bodies and you eventually think that a friend or family member is one of the bodies in the water and try to retrieve it eventually ending up as a body in the water yourself
Being a scuba diver must be terrifying. Seeing that jellyfish coming, you have no idea how near it actually is... It almost feels as though it will become almost infinitely larger... The lack of scale is disorienting alone.
Great job. I don't think I could handle that job ship wrecks are fascinating and creepy as it is. Seeing a dead body on the bottom of the the water in its stages. Would be enough to messy head up and possibly throw up in my mask. No disrespect at all. God bless those divers and the deceased that they find
I had a friend who was a Vietnam Marine. He explained to me one day how a person that is dead is very different from a person that is alive. That a person who is dead instantly becomes a thing that can be stepped on punched hit run over. He said everyone is very conscious of the fact that this is not a person anymore. I think that's the reason why high altitude Climbers on Mount Everest leave people who are dead. Because they will not risk their life for anything that is no longer alive. It simply does not get the same respect.

@@feyrie look up Bodies on mount Everest there’s about 270 frozen dead bodies they just leave them there cause they cannot rescue them
The body looks peacefully asleep on the seabed.. the jellyfish really added to that serene, yet somber, scene... Thank you for retrieving these precious souls so their families can be at peace...
its not something everyone can handle, but its such a heroic job in my personal opinion to the families of the deceased.
Much respect to people who do this job and for the people who have to find guns and knives in murky water and other dangerous places to help police solve possible murder cases. Thank God for all of you and I pray hard for all of you who have been deeply affected by your discoveries. God bless you all.
I concur! SOOOO much appreciation to these type of “divers”, I know you can’t get used to finding and seeing things that disturb you (I.e dead bodies…). It’s unbelievable that we have people willing to do this type of work. Not even dead bodies. An old rusted car in deep murky waters is creepy enough. They even have balls to do recovery work when there’s big ol nasty gators in the water. I hope they get paid well.
My dad used to do this, recovering bodies from the water. He told me some freaky and grotesque stories. He had to recover several below a dam over the years, but then he stopped going down there when something swam by him that was bigger than he was.
@@dartmaster501 I couldn’t even imagine all the probably terrifying , but very interesting stories he has . Did he ever mention what swam past him ?
@@Malitubee Probably a huge catfish.
@@dartmaster501 Yup.. that happend in indiana in the Ohio River. Lady drove her Camaro off of the bridge. When they divers went in the water and got a visual of her Camero, they swam down to realized it was a catfish.
Did that a few times helping out river rescue. Much respect is given to the victim.
Respect! This would activate fear in me 10k fold to be a first responder, alone at a dark, cold bottom of the world. RIP to the lost, respect to the finder and peace to the family whom effected by the ordeal. God bless you all.
That was so thoughtful, the way the body was retrieved with such grace.🙏💝 Rip
I don't care what else is going on in the world, you have to know that you're blessed to live in a time where individuals you don't even know, would potentially their own lives to recover the remains of someone else's loved one who is already dead. No matter how bad things may seem, there are always an army of individuals out there who uphold humanity for no real personal gain
It's called being payed to do it. God you're pathetic
It’s always a tragedy seeing what is usually a beautiful and peaceful setting in the context of someone having lost their life. The fact we don’t have context on who the lost soul is makes this even more sad, and it makes you think what could have possibly happened for them to end up like they did… rest in peace :(
Mad respect to people who do this for a living.
I bet this is a few decades of therapy..how living humans can deal with this is unbelievable....my utmost respect to those of you who undertake such a grim task.
The work of these people is incredible. They are heroes to me, they really are. We're used to heroes saving lives, but these folks are bringing closure to families who thought they'd lost any chance to say goodbye in a personal way.
They really put their lives in danger and even many, sadly, are left down with the corpses just for trying to help families in need...
My heart and strength are with them at all times.
God bless these divers. A family can rest in peace after getting a loved one back
Recovery divers are up there with firefighters and nurses! True heroes
Prayer for the lost, respect sent for diver.
My dad used to do this with the fire department. His stories will make you act differently in open water.
Your dad is a hero. Do you have any quick tips that he taught you?
@@belle16117 yeah don’t drink and do anything at the lake it’s a death magnet for drunks.

Many years ago when my mother was a young teen, she decided to skip school and go swimming at the water plant. She jumped in and hit something and up popped a body. Would have been too much for me
@@silentnot4812 OP said their mother skipped school, go back to elementary school and work on your reading comprehension
Credit to anyone who do that job. It needs to be done but not many could stomach it. No way I could
It's so terrifying to see it just laying on the floor like that. Not floating at all or bobbing in the current even a bit. It's just such an unnatural place to see a human in that way, it feels so unreal. I just know that at this point the body has been saturated by the element. It's like the water just took them.
One of the hardest things is telling a family that they’ve switched from recovery to salvage.
Incredible.
Didn’t want to watch this video really
yet the opportunity to see the (surprisingly) reverent recovery of a dead body off the ocean floor ... well, I just had to do it.
An excellent reminder that no matter how
‘Fd’ up the world is, Life is still precious.
May The Force Be With Us All!
Some years ago a high profile tragedy but kept low key recovery was the Challenger explosion, the cabin was still intact. Since everyone know who perished, the details where not made public out of respect for the family members.
What do u think happened to their bodies
@@chloekit4861 If I had to guess, most of it was blunt force trauma. Some of them survived the initial explosion, but definitely would’ve passed out from the g forces. None of their bodies were reported intact
Half of the crew did pass out at the moment of explosion. Other half was concious till the impact. When they recovered the cockpit, a crewmember fell out back into the water and it took the divers some time to find.
I shook hands with each crew member when they came to CU to learn how to turn the Pioneer Venus satellite around to look at Halleys comet. Theirs were the most impressive handshakes I've ever had, and I've shook many famous hands. They were each incredible human beings; stellar. 💫❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@chloekit4861 They certainly became a mass without much consistency, that is, they were no longer bodies in their entirety while some had great internal damage and relatively intact externally (hardly). In such cases, factors of rapid deterioration do not leave much left and destroy what remains.
Divers for body recovery don’t get enough credit!
Poor person what a way to go 😞 I hope he/she was bought back to the family for a proper burial.
Used to be a rescue diver 18 - 26 years old. Almost no visibility, cold water. Under ice, caves. Saw a few dead people under water, one face to face at near zero visibility (I'll never forget that), and had some close calls myself. It scared me but I didn't think much about the lives behind those bodies. Now I'm older, more aware of my own mortality I'm more terrified just watching a video. Strange how our brain works. At least it taught me to stay calm in the face of horror. Probably the most important thing in and under water, not to panic.
Does anybody happen to know who this person was, and what his or her story happens to be? It is heartbreaking to have to deal with any loss of life, but these divers really go out on a limb; often, even risking their own lives in the process of recovering the bodies of the fallen, in order to, simply, bring closure, and peace of mind, to the grieving families, and to allow each of these unfortunate souls the opportunity to be respectfully laid to rest. Some of the dives that these people do end up being incredibly challenging and involving significantly risky environments to navigate through, based on location alone, but then there's also the added level of complexity to consider, that coincides with body retrieval, and the immense effort it requires to raise a deceased body to the surface. It can be an incredibly daunting task, with exhausting amounts of physical labor, yet these brave divers knowingly put themselves in harms way, sometimes even at their own financial expense as well, just so they can bring the dead home, to be properly laid to rest, and to bring the closure to the affected families, that is so necessary in order for them to begin to heal from their losses. These individuals truly deserve FAR more appreciation, recognition and commendation than they, currently, ever seem to be given. Their work really is quite heroic.💜💚
@@denni7173 never even knew that happened, thank you
@@denni7173 1994*
@@denni7173 No, that happened 1994, this happened 2009 and Norway does not share coast line with the baltic sea which makes it impossible for Estonia bodies to end up at the norwegian coast.. Dont spread misinformation like this, show some respect please.
This is one of the Clinton Foundation victims.
Why are these people saying this was from the challanger disaster.
It literally said this was in norway in the description 🙄
It comes up when you search challenger explosion at least it did for me
@@salterplus9205 It did for me as well, which made it confusing. I actually didn't read the entire video description causing me to think the same thing.
@@salterplus9205 hello from 2022 i am here in the comments section after watching this body recovery video after initially watching a video of the challenger disaster and absolutely baffled to read this with my own eyes.
Shout out to those divers that are always there to serve police officers and families etc. looking for bodies and for clues thank you for your bravery God bless to all. 🥰🤗🙏
When water temperature is cold 50s and below bodies are in essence refrigerated and bloat stage is slowed. In that case ocean scavengers have nibbled enough sometimes to open the body cavity so cadaver never floats to surface.
How tf did I go from watching a install on a dodge challenger to this 💀
Intrusive thoughts?
do y’all know who’s body we’re they recovering, cause I’m kinda curious
God bless the divers. I would hate to do a shipwreck and have a body follow me or bump into me. The things the divers experience is crazy!
This is an amazing find! Considering that bottom feeder fish and 🦀s would normally finish off dead things quickly.
Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you for showing us all how it works. I've always been curious.
I'm reading these comments and all I can say is thank goodness there is still a couple smart people left...... smh............RIP to the deceased.
my deepest respect to those who do this. i would not last a minute
My grandfather did water recovery. I'll never forget those stories
Was The Deceased Weighed down with something? Why didn't the Body float? "In the arm's of the Angel's to the Soul gone Home" To The Family Closure. To The Divers you are Hero's.. I salute you all. Kindest Thoughts To You And Your Families from Australia
Contrary to what movies show, a body in water will initially sink immediately following death. If it's been there a while, the composition of the body will then change, allowing it to float. I'm guessing this person hadn't been dead for very long. May he rest in peace. 😢

TEMPERATURE - DECOMPOSITION
Shout out to the diver, respect shown. Have to call out the jellyfish floating by to check out the diver.
Looks like a peaceful place to rest in peace. Im not sure Id want to be recovered from a place like that. It's so natural, in a back to the earth sense. I think Ocean burial is the best way to lay bodies to rest.
It never occured to me about the divers going down to recover people in water accidents. Bless them all!
Thank you for the work that you do!
So did anyone find out what happened to them how they get there...?
It was not them. One fisherman.
I find this video very sad! And to the brave folks that recover the lost souls bravo.
I know this is 8 years too late, but I have a general question - how did the body remain at the bottom? A person will float in water, unless he has weights. And a deceased body produces more gas that’s why those found in the ocean (unless in overhead environment like ships) would float to the surface
@Slim Cloak You are mostly correct. A body will sink at first. However, different environments have different outcomes. Bodies of water above 40 degrees F allow the growth of necessary bacteria and microorganisms to grow causing the body to become buoyant. Bodies of water that are colder than 40 degrees F do not allow the growth of bacteria and microorganisms so without that buildup of gases the bodies stay submerged.
One of the more famous shipwrecks on Lake Superior is the Edmond Fitzgerald which sank during a storm in 1975. When search and recovery divers searched the ship they did not find any of the 29 bodies.
In the 90's a guy wanted to make a documentary about The Fitz and he went to video the wreck using an underwater rover and unexpectedly ran across a number of bodies, still in good shape, a few yards away from the actual wreck. He wanted to use that footage in his documentary. The families fought him and got the site designated as a grave site.
The site is now surrounded by alarms that warns the Coast Guard, and anyone caught in that area is fined $800,000.
@@cassiereroni thanks a lot Gordon Lightfoot!
@@hunterbiden7391 Awesome songwriter and singer. He has many good songs but he'll forever be connected to The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald because that song lives in so many hearts.
As a Divemaster part of my training is to understand buoyancy, positive, negatively and neutrally. In order for an object (in this matter, a person) to stay buoyant, the object has to displace water greater in weight than the weight of the object itself. When the weight of the water being displaced is less than the weight of the object the object will be negatively buoyant and thus sink. The weight of the water being displaced can also be the same as the object of course and in this case, would be termed neutrally buoyant. Other factors that contribute to buoyancy is the type of fluid one finds oneself in, like saltwater v freshwater, salt makes us more buoyant. One's tissue fat content makes one more buoyant also, when a body produces gasses it inflates and thus displaces more water also.
@@cassiereroni imho, if bodies are recoverable they should be, rather than banning areas labelled as grave sites.
How do the bodies seem still so intact? Wouldn't being submerged in water cause it to just flake off like wet paper? I'm surprised it hadn't attracted other sea life also.
I think this one hasn't been down for long. Not floating or bloated, this person probably drowned only a short time ago.
Depends on the conditions of the water in question. Bodies in Lake Superior are famously well preserved due to how cold it is down there. The video also didn’t specify how long this person was down there.
I recall seeing one drowned victim on the deck of a sunken vessel, and they looked absolutely perfect, albeit dead!
It was utterly surreal, but thankfully depradation and decomposition had not yet taken place.
The Divers that entered the bridge of Estonia had a much more horrific encounter, and theirs was not a body retrieval tasking.
Excellent underwater photography, that could be anything.
Does the body get put into a bag to bring it up?
120ft you had 13 mins to bag the body? You did a safety stop at 15ft? Any deco at all did you exceed recreational limits? Well done. Sonar was sweet such a clear image.
Even if I wasn't found. Eventually my body would decompose and be eaten and go I to the food chain and ecosystem. I really believe the sould would have been at ease if could move past human experience once passed. To the divers however, the families physically still here most definitely wouldn't have closure so salute to you doing what many, majority wouldn't. One day I hope to do recovery and rescue diving myself.
It's incredible what you guys do... The jellyfish alone scares me more than than the body... Something quite creepy about it.
Thank you for bringing him home
I just finished a body recovery mission for six in the Philippines and there were jellyfish there too.
Saw it, the feet...the arm, and doll like body practically flew up to the surface. Creepy
Is there a website where I can find uncensored recoveries like this? Someone please let me know 🙏🏻
I’m always looking for that too, I need it for drowning research.
The circumstances look tremendously interesting how this came to be and not even tropical waters but the Norwegian coast guard has treated the issue so respectfully I will follow their example.
What you do for whatever reason for you, family, friends, those who ask for your help- and you will be needed and I would be grateful someone chose to do this. So what someone chooses to do is their choice, not yours. Thank everyone who goes to work or volunteers, all are appreciated and needed.
I tried looking this up and could find nothing about anyone missing/dead from KV TOR 334. All I could find was regular info including its current location. I think this is a training video. I thought that as soon as I saw the “body”. The knees look hinged. If this is not the case please post what happened and where you found your info as I can find nothing about this.
yes thank you! i just went down an hours-long rabbit hole trying to find out more about this case, but found absolutely nothing. so now im thinking that this was probably just a training mission using a dummy. but if not, i'd like to know the details. and then i would also like to apologize for calling the poor soul a "dummy."

Search and rescue divers are unsung heroes for sure.
Great job. I don't think I could handle that job ship wrecks are fascinating and creepy as it is. Seeing a dead body on the bottom of the the water in its stages. Would be enough to messy head up and possibly throw up in my mask. No disrespect at all. God bless those divers and the deceased that they find
I searched
"i do not recognize the bodies in the water"
this is what i got
I searched "died ASL."
I had a friend who was a Vietnam Marine. He explained to me one day how a person that is dead is very different from a person that is alive. That a person who is dead instantly becomes a thing that can be stepped on punched hit run over. He said everyone is very conscious of the fact that this is not a person anymore. I think that's the reason why high altitude Climbers on Mount Everest leave people who are dead. Because they will not risk their life for anything that is no longer alive. It simply does not get the same respect.
Been there done that. Only in lakes and rivers. Not pleasant but necessary.
