Well, a company I'm involved with has found a wreck we plan to film for TV. It was on its way home to Japan after the Battle of Leyte when it was sunk. Can't say more but it will be VERY interesting...

On Sunday and Monday a group of friends and divers dived The Princess of the Orient here in the Philippines. A long awaited treat for all of us.
She is 200m long and 26m wide. 13 700 ton. She is on her port side and the wreck start at 100m. She sank 1998 in the storm Vicki and took over 200 souls with her. She is to this date the biggest ferry ever to traffic Philippino waters.
The dives ranged in depth and time but the longest bottom time was around 15 minutes and the deepest depth recorded 126m. Total run times were just over 3 hrs. The bow was visited and filmed for the very first time.
