Technical Scuba Diving
Background When I originally created my UB88 Photogrammetry Model it was November 2021 and one of the points of interest for me was using photogrammetry as a tool to see how the wreck had changed and deteriorated since it was discovered in 2003. I don't think I have dove that wreck since the epic series [...]
Background This is the third in a series of posts about my project to document the interiors of wrecks. The first post covered the engine room of the Ruby E, the second post is the engine room of the Yukon, and this post will be about the corridor (or path) leading from the stern of [...]
Intro After working on the engine room in the Ruby E, I figured I would tackle the engine room on the HMCS Yukon. The engine room in the Yukon is significantly bigger (of course!) and has all kinds of cool gears, pipes, flywheels, etc. and I figured it would make for a much "meatier" project. [...]
Background I've spent the past 12-18 months thinking about how to best show the insides of wrecks to both divers and non-divers. This post is the first in a series of probably 4 or 5 parts. Each post will highlight some of the techniques and challenges I have faced while working on this long-term project. [...]
Introduction Tyler and I got a lead on a P-38 that was in deep water (325 fsw) off of Point Loma so we decided to go out with Chris & Lora on the Marrisa. For those types of depths, it is always good to have a couple of divers with you that you know will [...]
Summary Back in January, we were on the D/V Triton and found an airplane wreck from a target Tyler found. We preliminarily identified it as a Hellcat and likely a drone (F6F-xK). This past week, we went back to the site in order to (a) better document it and (b) find the tail section and [...]
Intro Tyler had a list of targets that we had looked at earlier this year which resulted in the Hellcat wreck and then also the Squeezer Dredge barge. We had scanned a few others during those trips and put them on the "further investigate" list. Plenty of targets to investigate... (sorry the map is pixelilzed) [...]
Intro This was one of my "to-do" list projects for 2024. I originally dove the New Saturnia with Tyler and Lora on the Marissa back in October 2020 and we had amazing visibility at a site known for hit-and-miss visibility. In Aug 2023, Steve Lawson & Chris Gilmartin invited me to go dive the New [...]
Background This is the second post for the Junkers Ju52 Photogrammetry project. The first post covered the trip details, information on the Junkers Ju52 airplane, the wreck itself, and still photos of the wreck. This post will focus on the photogrammetry model. Photogrammetry Process Photos & Video One of the cool things about this project [...]
Introduction On Thursday, April 18 1943, during Operation Vengeance, United States P-38 aircraft launched from the Solomon Islands shot down the aircraft carrying the Commander-in-Chief of the combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Yamamoto was the architect of the Japan war strategy and was absolutely critical to their heretofore success in [...]
