- Truks Lagoon's Oite Destroyer. This is just one chapter on the shipwrecks of Chuck. The presentation took from 2011 to 2019 and 300 hundred dives to produce and was partly funded by the Blue Lagoon Dive shop. It is by far the most extensive filming project ever carried out in that location.
Please subscribe if you do enjoy the film. Thanks. Cheers Max

First time I’ve ever seen human remains in a ship wreck. Wow. RIP. great footage. Great story telling.
Glad you enjoyed it
Time well spent. Would watch again. Fascinating stuff
Very nicely done! Great filming, editing, outstanding narration. recommended. thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video, especially inside the hull. 1st class job.
Thanks!
the dichotomy of mankind, the rage that brought the planes to Truk creating such destruction, after which divers explore and uncover such beauty growing out of the wreck slowly working to reconfigure this wreck into a beautiful tomb for the honored dead that will forever remain there. may they rest peacefully in natures garden.
I well remember seeing still color pictures of Truk wrecks, late 1960s. Colors were different, and all the divers carried shotgun powerheads back then! Still quite beautiful. Love, Dubs
Not sure why they would do that...There are no "real sharks" over there like Great Whites...and that's fine by me..lol
Absolute pleasure watching this. I so want to dive this wreck one-day soon . A definite bucket list for sure.

Thats awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it
1997 i
dove on 2ships and one aircraft , also toured the radio station on the mountain, huge steel doors on the windows, museum inside artifacts by the locals. Great trip!
These wrecks bring a lot of income to the island, bringing the locals out of poverty, I was glad to contribute, fantastic diving!
That was Excellent.
Thanks
That’s really beautiful
thank you
at this point in the war US and allied forces had a overwhelming advantage. For this operation alone They had 5 fleet and 4 light carriers 6 battleships 10 cruisers and 28 destroyers totaling almost 600 air craft. The USN had more ships in the Pacific than the Japanese had aircraft
Your videos are unreal
thanks
I wish you guys would listen.
The human remains were removed by Japanese officials and cremated.
Who ever said that human remains were souvenired ??
I'm pretty sure that divers are respectful and that penalties for taking bones would be severe.
@@redtobertshateshandles remains still in ship
@@redtobertshateshandles copper and other metals are being taken off wrecks and destroying what's left. Especially near china
@redtobertshateshandles my grandmother's brother died on the U.S.S. Emmons skunk off Okinawa. His boat has had its bell stolen and other items taken off the ship
Yes, I can understand the comments about a war grave, but there is no touching down there.
t is very interesting to see, especially since Jacques-Yves Cousteau had already been there in the 1970s and made a film called "Lagoon of Sunken Ships".
Not to this wreck. She was not discovered until 1986. Cousteau was there in 1969
@@shipwrecksoftheworld878 Yes, they explored other ships, not this one in the video. There was even paint on the hulls and the names written in white were legible. Anyway, thanks for the video, it's very good.)
dang, 200ft on single tank, open circuit, back mount. must not have been able to stay too long. edit: just read the description that it was done over 300 dives, wow
That's a 120 Lt tank she has on and she had no trouble doing a 25 minute on the Oite...And of course Nitrox was always hanging under the boat.
Those are rookie numbers, my deepest dive was 68 meters to the stern of the USS President Coolidge, open circuit on a single tank of nitrox.
Sensational video 👍 I’m surprised the Chinese haven’t stripped that .
Check out the others on my youtube channel or subscribe where you will be informed of further releases...Max
The wrecks in Truk are protected which is one of the reasons the area is so popular with divers.
very nice video
Thanks
the props are worth a mint
@@jakeoreilly9627 scavenger?
@@briancooper2112 im not the one that sank it.
its a war grave, they will never be legal to salvage.
Why were only some of the remains removed?
Most probably reason is that they were not seen. Shipwrecks are changing all the time. Artefacts can appear that were not visible a month before after a part of the wreck fell. So I would say that the remains seen in this film were not visible to the divers on the recovery mission
Their still war graves
Beautiful shipwreck? Its a grave!
A grave can’t be beautiful?
My grandmother's brother was killed on the U.S.S. Emmons sunk by kamikaze attack. People have died on her and stole her original bell which was replaced and other items.@davidshanahan5134
@@davidshanahan5134 where's my reply?
@@davidshanahan5134 no.
This is a very deep dive. Don't attempt it unless you have the training and equipment to survive. During your lengthy ascent, lots of oceanic sharks are most likely to be present. My Chuukese dive master claimed the sharks have long memories, and they've never forgotten the feast they enjoyed the day this destroyer was sunk. As an aside, the Oite was damaged in combat before this date and was not fully operational when she departed Truk to escort the cruiser to Japan. I have the USN carrier strike photos that depict the attacks on Oite. The last one reads, "Survivors were strafed in the water."
Beautiful photography. I’m not sure how I feel about entering a war grave though. I’m not a very religious guy, but I feel like that’s violating them in some way. I don’t like the idea of divers carrying off remains as souvenirs.
You know what war is a nasty business but the fact of the matter is as I keep saying in other videos about the Japanese it was all self-inflicted they should never bumble Harbour you just shows her backward they were
From us older people please turn down the dam background music
War grave. Leave them alone.
I'm ex Royal Navy 85/92. Please leave the sailors in peace. This is a war grave.
Well said sir and thank you for your service. Greetings from across the pound.
Well done.
The local have poached everything off of the wrecks
