If you are man enough to go to 800' you should be man enough to do it in a wetsuit. Or speedos. :cool2:

British shipwreck holds £2.6 billion treasure, explorers claim - Telegraph

Salvagers claim to have found the world's richest wreck – a British ship sunk by a Nazi submarine while laden with a £2.6 billion cargo that included gold, platinum and diamonds.

Sub Sea Research, a US-based marine research and recovery firm, claims it has now located the wreck under 800ft of water about 40 miles off Guyana.

Thought you could fool us, did ya!?!?!?

HOLY SMOKES!
I wouldnt hesitate doing some deep dive training an buy a pair of those water heated speedos to get hold of two and a half billion british pounds :cool2:

Lol well my water heated speedo is powered by about half a billion pounds of american or so i tell the ladies

No doubt we'll see if it the goodies are all still there. I remember there was a British WW2 warship sunk off Scotland with a big pile of gold in the holds, but it was a protected war grave. It was in about 500 ft of water. Eventually in the 1980s the British government decided recovering the gold was more important than honouring the dead, so they want down to recover it. And it was all gone.

Can't recall the name but I will post it if I find it.

Random non-diving thought: that Blue Baron sounds like a doozy of a court case if they do manage to recovery the haul. These cases are always fraught with legal complications, but this one could be a world beater - cargos owned by several different nation states; salvors' rights; carrier's rights; and an extremely valuable cargo to boot. It will be a good bun fight for sure. Lucky for them the US is extremely favourable to "finder's rights" which is no doubt where they would head with anything they recovered.

Exchange rates lousy at the moment. 2.5 billion pounds doesn't go as far as it used to

Lmao good one man i know what your saying thats not worth the dry suit repairs youd have to do

 

[Jax]

Okay, so now that y'all have figured out all these parameters . . . Just what would it take to dive to 800', suck down that AL80, and come back up?

2.5 billion in good old LSD. That'ed have to be worth a small flock of ROV's & a NEWT suit or 2.
