An age-old question: ways to 60m.

So you conclude that taking too long to get free from debris, being unable to follow their line out, having trouble finding the exit, not finding their stage tanks, was all just bad luck and had nothing to do with the fact that they had high workload and stress for 30min at 70m/230fsw on air and were certainly severely impaired from nitrogen narcosis?

Have you ever even been inside a U-boat wreck, because that stupid talk smacks of complete ignorance of what it entails.
P.S. They actually done very good to get out.

they didn't do that good. they failed to return to their their stages on the outside of the wreck (which is a straight tube laying in two pieces), and they both died. pretty much every report i've read on the incident states their gas choices were a factor.

“A straight tube” hilarious, you should get a bit of diving in on U 869. I haven’t personally but I have done inside and outside surveys on a similar but smaller U-boat U 260 with a view to salvage operations, having received permission from the German government.

thats cool man i have done some diving on the u869. it's a tube. it lays on its side so even more so than the 853 which sits upright

all that is to say it's kind of crazy to cast them as heroes instead of a cautionary tale of what can happen when ego gets in the way of making good decisions. although that seems to go hand in hand with deep air diving

In that case you must be familiar with the conditions you could find yourself dealing with inside a U-boat if there’s a collapse and that’s what the Rouses had to deal with. I’m not familiar with the layout of U 869 so don’t know why they failed to reach the stages

An Irish diver asking for permission to work a wreck. Now I know you are making stuff up. I just spent 2 weeks diving in Ireland diving with Irish divers. We did many wrecks including 3 subs (2 Deadlight, 1 operational) and they never asked for permission from anyone for anything.

There was a plan to raise U260 intact and put her on display in Glandore
PS WW2 wrecks are outside the 100 year rule.
