100th Anniversary of the sinking of the UB88

[MaxBottomtime]

Today marks 100 years since the sinking of the UB88. The San Pedro buoy registered 5.9 feet swells this morning, so I doubt anyone is out there making a celebratory dive. Instead, here are some of the better videos of dives made on the wreck.

Here is one I did a few months back.


One of my favorite SoCal wrecks.

That was suppose to happen for me last year. Maybe later this year.

Yeah. I've been on the UB88 for 6 or 7 dives in 2020 and had been planning for months to dive it again today but ran into multiple roadblocks including conditions.

In addition to those videos, Drew Wilson has been taking some great pictures during our dives:

I've been working on my photogrammetry model of the UB88. I probably need 4 more dives to complete it and hope to finish those in the first half of the year. Here is a link to my UB88 dives and some of the models on sketchfab:

Usually that mean me, but since I have not been there yet I'm off the hook this time.
