  • Watch the new tugs being sunk in North Carolina!
    Discovery Deep had the opportunity to capture video of the James J Francesconi artificial reef being sunk of the coast of North Carolina with Olympus Dive Center.
    A big thanks goes out to Robert Purifoy at Olympus Dive center, and Tim Mullane, the coordinator of the project, for working with us to make this happen.

    Poor old tugs. I hate to see any ship or boat sink. Wouldn't it be better to scrap them and re-use all that metal? How did they sink them? Anyway, great video footage.

      @@mwilko74 yeah that's a great idea just what the third world needs another leaky old decrepit boat slowly spewing oil and toxic crap into the water! Far better off to strip her down clean her up and sink her to the bottom and let the fish enjoy it! Note The Reef ball they have placed in the back of the first one to make it a coral reef.

      A finer end for a boat would be to sink and give new life to a coral reef and hundreds of fish then to just scrap her and Hager her memories lost forever

    Is it possible to capture a ship going down underwater, from another ship? I would love to see that!

    • @discoverydeep9083
      @discoverydeep9083  2 года назад +1

      I don't know that it's been done, but safety would be a big concern as you never know if the future artificial reef will cooperate when it goes down. For this project, our team bolted GoPros in underwater housings onto various parts of the boat, turned them on, and then evacuated to the lead boat which was at a safe stand off distance. Not sure how well filming from another boat would work. There will be turbulence in the water created by the sinking boat. It'd be unsafe to have the lead boat too close. And, given that the amount of light starts to fall off dramatically after only about 6 feet or so underwater, it'd be a real challenge to get enough light for filming and clarity in the water to be able to see it all. Keep in mind, this is our best guess, as we only carried out the filming work. There are folks out there who specialize in reefing boats and ships and have greater experience in managing the work area when they create an artificial reef...and it is complicated. Hope that helps.

    These are very cool to watch especially when they have cameras on them as they go down but just wondering if a diver has ever ridden one down to the bottom and film it

    • @discoverydeep9083
      @discoverydeep9083  3 года назад +2

      It was a very cool job our folks did on this. I've never heard of divers riding a wreck to the bottom. It would potentially be VERY dangerous as a diver would have to deal with rapidly increasing water pressure, not to mention the boat/ship could be completely unstable as it crashes into the bottom with no means of escape.

    • @johndennis879
      @johndennis879 3 года назад +2

      It's not junk it's new habitat for marine life so instead of making asinine comments why don't you do research before opening your mouth

    • @discoverydeep9083
      @discoverydeep9083  3 года назад +3

      Rose, the tugs were sunk to create new marine habitat intended to help fish species maintain themselves and to provide self sustaining fisheries. Plenty of people agree with these projects and plenty disagree. We filmed this to support a UNC project with the state of NC to monitor fish populations in NC waters. I do know that boats that are subnk as artificial reefs must undergo incredible cleaning regimens under state and federal laws to assure they don't pollute the marine environment. Hope that helps.
