Diving the wrecks of Donegal: Malin Head's epic diving (40-147m)

- The wreck diving in NW Ireland is the best in the world - where else can you be photobombed by a seal at 120m in 50m+ visiblity ? The diving is challenging because of the oceanic conditions and depths involved but should be on every divers bucket list!
This is a recording of a talk that I gave for Poole Diving (www.poolediving.uk) in Feb 2022. I get most of my gas from them and they do my tank inspections and equipment care. If I need some new googles or flippers they'd be my first port of call.
We made the recording as a poor electrician was stuck in wales and couldn't make it in time - so it is definately not a professional shoot - but its amazing what sound and images an old gopro can capture.
If you found this entertaining, useful and/or you learned something and wanted to buy me a coffee till we meet in person: www.buymeacoff...
That’s an epic talk. Thank you. It makes me seriously think about starting diving again
Great talk and excellent pictures. Takes me back to the days when I did these dives. The visibility and ambient light on the Amazon was incredible and the Trans was dark.
I dived these deeper ones in 2009 which is when I located (by chancce) one of Translyvania ship's bell. It was recovered 2-3 weeks later by a group of Irish lads that dive out of there regularly. I only managed to get 131m to the sea floor at the bow of the Translyvania though. I didn't get to the stern as I was swimming and not on a scooter, so could be deeper in that section. If you did get to the stern it would be great to hear what state its in. thanks
Whats this got to do with Buitenzorg?
LOL - build up ;)
As a submariner, i can say. Yes conning tower and bridge are all used to describe the fin.
Also the “framework” are called “T frames” and they go completely around the submarine. Also they are numbered. Example 21 bulkhead door is the 21st T frame.
Submarines nowadays use a Propulsor rather than propellers because its a lot quieter but also less efficient
We do have rudders on submarines but what you are talking about are called “After planes” also theres Foreplanes at the front.
Modern subs do have fins (sails for Americans) but pre 1950s conning towers with a bridge above them … so I guess it depends on era of sub. U-89 in this talk is pre1950 so likely conning tower is correct ;)
@@gbdivering what a eye opener it is standing on top of the bridge and theres waves coming towards you at eye level!
@@Jake-Rides think only thte captain stands up there :D
@@gbdivering no, captain very rarely goes up only for a cig if he smokes. Its usually the navigator (2 officers take it in turns) a communicators technician (my job was) and a sonar operator. Always 3 people on the bridge.
