u-853 penetration

[Gilldiver]

Need I say next time slow way down, very few go inside her and even fewer do the tour. I move in 3 to 6 foot increments, stop and slowly look around. I have to say that with the new lights I do see a lot more than I did with the old 6 D-cell Ikelite lights.

Agree, I got dizzy watching.

And you might want to reconsider penetrating at all. That's not just cool engines and torpedo tubes. You are in many young men's grave; they were all so young they almost surely have living relatives too. Treat their grave like you would your own brother or sister's. Stampeeding through their grave is distastful.

Well, I hardly think I was "stampedeing" through the wreck.There were other divers coming in behind me so I didn't want to linger and murk it up for them. I agree it is a grave and should be treated with respect, but I have no problem going in for a look. I could actually see a lot better than the video depicts. It is just a cheap little camera that my friend had and let me use. It was mounted on my helmet and was angled down a little to much so it gives the impression that I was looking at the floor most of the time. Not the case. To each his own I guess.
