Thanks for the video. Must be cool to be able to dive so many historical shipwrecks

Re: Uss monitor - then and now

Nice that you caught a weather break. I'm up in the Banks now for vacation; wind's been howling out of the south since Friday and my dives on the Under Pressure this week were scrapped.

Did anybody try getting the line off that manta? I've seen a few videos and accounts of them letting divers cut gear off of them.

The manta had a lot more than that when I first hit the bottom. I cut off several strands, including some that had big encrustations on him. He bugged out when the other divers showed up and I turned on my video lights...
