Personal Work Sunday
More scuba!
These were both shot in Guam. The first shot was during a safety stop at the site "Blue Hole".
The second shot may not look like much, but the historical aspect of the dive was interesting. This is actually from a wreck in Guam called the Tokai Maru. The Tokai Maru lies at 120 feet with her shallowest depth being the bridge at 40 ft. The Tokai was a Japanese passenger-cargo freighter and was sunk in the harbor in 1943. The interesting thing about this dive however is that the SMS Cormoran lies directly besides the Tokai Maru, their hulls touching each other at one point only at about 80ft depth. The SMS Cormoran had been sunk in 1917.
So, with one dive - at 80ft, I was actually able to touch the hulls of two ships spanning two World Wars.
