      Remember that the video was edited long after the conclusion of the expedition. They condensed hundreds of hours into one hour. They were only going to show successful work, so from the outset of the "plunger to grab an amphora" one could be sure that the ploy would be successful.

    One reason that these shipwrecks are (relatively) undisturbed is the DEEP of the Black Sea. Another fact contributing to the relatively low level of decay of organic materials is the anoxic nature of the water at the depths of the Black Sea...no MAN can dive that deep without the artificial, protected environment of the subs.

    Half a day of preparation and it’s possible to do a dive to 100m. Build rebreather, one hour, boost O2 diluent and bailouts two hours. Dive planning 1 hour, suit up and pre dive test 30 min. These divers would have their kit in a ready state on a trip like this with sorb filled and O2, Dillan and bailouts pre prepared so that any opportunity to go on a dive would take the minimum amount of time.

    19:15 surprised they don't utilize a transition wave breaker, that kind of back and forth on the taught cable cannot be good for the fiber inside. Usually, there should be something like a small wing that's always pointed upward to push it out of the water and hugging the cable above and bellow the water level, a wave breaker that's loose from the cable itself, and just splits the water moving forward.

    • @connorjohnson4402
      @connorjohnson4402 Месяц назад

      Well the cables able to fully pick the vehicle out of the water but for the most part the ship isn't pulling the ROV along with the cable the vehicle is flying around under its power and they put floats a ways up from he vehicles in order for it to form a caternary so that there is a buffer of the wave action from the ship to the vehicle. This arrangement can change a bit if its a 2 body ROV system but the transition point of the tether into the water is not going to cause any sort of forces on the cable in comparison to other parts in the system. Most ROVs only travel a few knots at the most. I haven't seen a system like you describe used on any ROV dives.

    OK, if the glaciers are melting raising sea water, the glaciers on land would have melted and raised the water level of the black sea, just as fast, as there would have been flooding, during the melting. I still don't think there would have been a "gradual" rising of the water level in the black sea. it was probably both happening at the same time that caused it to be over ran and become marine instead of fresh.

      Yeah! What a ripoff! I bet you’ve found probably a thousand REAL Roman shipwrecks! I can’t wait to see those productions!

    It was the ordinary working man's taxes that paid for your adventures and your ship, do you go to schools to display what you have found and share it with the working people?

      The sediment in the amphora is probably much heavier than olive oil, so the neck loops are not adequate for the load.

    so nothing is going to be done to try and recover and reconstruct this wreck, as we know the Baltic and Balkan countries really dont care about history and I do own an ancient Roman Amphora I bought decades ago as I like history
