to me this is the most important part of the year when you come here your one on one with you forget all about civilization. spots left people with a passion for exploration dive down deep. for the sake of scientific research. hunting for treasures from times past. but. the world is one of possibilities unimaginable.

hi. this camp has been pitched on the sure of the black sea every year for the last fifteen. the courage straight as. it separates ukrainian crimea from russian territory. in one thousand nine hundred three during world war two the most terrible battles shook this region. destroyed dozens of soviet and german ships around the same time. the expedition members have only four days to explore the ship's. boat sunk in the summer of one thousand nine hundred three.

according to satellite imaging the boat is not far from the shore and is at a considerably shallow depth. however the divers are not expecting much from the first dish even knowing its exact location they doubt they'll find a boat in the opaque waters of the black sea. better go. first aaron one tank will be sufficient for two hours according to the schedule the initial dive is not to last more than forty minutes but before divers spend about an hour under the surface when they come up the reason for the delay becomes apparent they found their boat if. it. was there we saw the gun turret the would this fit there is

a part of the gun tower in the machine. will write down a description in a minute for. at the same time for several thousand kilometers to the east another expedition is setting off from the bank of the world's deepest freshwater lake lake baikal. to the people on this march floating on a huge lake is the same as being in outer space they think of themselves as astronauts of the aquatic world and their deep sea submersibles look much like spacecraft. meet mir one or two machines designed during the soviet period back in the one nine hundred eighty s. these water craft can dive to a depth of six thousand meters however they won't need to reach the dead keep in my call as the deepest parts of the lake are within one and a half kilometers. on the surface. mia to depths fourteen

hundred fifteen misses at the bus from. motorboat to near one finish taking samples begin the baling. it's the third expedition of the submarines in my call within two months the hydra nuts plan to perform many experiments during dozens of individual dives. which with us move abroad this time we will perform very accurate exploration in order to make a water analysis chart find out the chemical composition of the sediment and to finish the research on the geology over league call of. good work on the sofa we go. to let the expedition begin.

five men a dog and then both always does the old for travelling the expedition starts in st petersburg their destination the russian river volkov. just where sail into the river volkov. is one of their areas where we try to trick old water routes in olden times the majority of trips were. less predicament and you sail over the sea into the mouth of a river and then head upstream to a certain city. many boats stayed in a permanent moring along st petersburg's in banquets many ships were turned into restaurants but the explorers are not interested in these boats they're attracted by untouched history such as the sunken vessels. found by the sea you experience the strongest emotions when you dive in finding new untouched ships and see things nobody would. spanked. there are

many ships in the gulf of finland having seen only by me. the next day the expedition heads across lake la to go to the river. it's an old russian waterway and a real paradise for underwater explores. were used in a trade. is a different circumstances. when the ship sinks it stays at the river. and ends up being slowly colorless sand and silt. if you will try to find the old ships. and how they worked. here because you have to dress as if you were the north pole. it's like a skiing outfit. on the right.

members of the expedition start their work early in the morning. drop saying above the place they believe a merchant ship was sunk. a few brief instructions before they dive this sunken target sits in relatively shallow water and they'll be able to evaluate what state it's in. it lays along and it's rather big. so you can move along the flow a bit deeper oh maybe closer to the shore and simply move forward i think you'll find the ship there. i'm ready. the first dive last for half an hour but it's not as easy as they thought the visibility is poor and the diver has to disappoint his colleagues. to shoot his fellow in the boat into the boat.

it's the same. their colleagues. clearly showing. after the first successful dive. head of the expedition. on how to lift a fragment of the boat.

the first day of the expedition comes to an end. around. the long the sure is related to research to a soviet was here in one thousand nine hundred three. divers normally go underwater tonight they're going underground a long time ago soldiers would go through these dark damp corridors they'd bring shells here and take the wounded to a safe place quite often members of the expedition do things unrelated to underwater research there i mean a cable ducts in this must be an emergency exit for fifteen years businessman alex has been funding expeditions to the black sea in search of sunken ships. i was born in ukraine. and as a child i used to dive with a mask and

a snorkel looking for sunken ships. and world war two landing craft. that's how i got interested in it. but well it's on the yoke and makes it back to dive in the black sea only once a year. i can't live without the sea. diving when the first appeared in the soviet era initially he was interested in the traces of ancient greek settlements not artifacts of war. you know. you know i once found a well under water but. there was a lot of anxious to go on for as scattered around it would go. on and when i took one of them out i wanted to show it to everybody right away that i had it straight from the surface and jumped out of the water with the in my hand it's.

decision day of the mir expedition starts with some routine work but not all of what i put this is our laboratory where we store our samples in refrigerators. there are some freezers of tables and other things a little base of the living quarters and here is the toilets. and this is where we sleep an expedition just came in they're making themselves at home but. stuff from the by call research institute will be our guide today he's probably the most anxious one waiting for the exhibition to begin only near submersible search of reaching the depths needed to confirm his theory of how gas hydrates are formed some called these unique deep water compounds of water and methane the fuel of the future. these will then i would go to the latest four hundred meters deep in the spot gas hydrates become unstable above those levels that we want to use this gas to hydrate on the surface but we're going to recorded on video to measure the

temperature that maybe they need to put. mirrors are capable of remaining underwater for up to two days working on their own idea is planning to spend at least eight hours looking for gas hydrates this scientists opportunities are limited as each dive cost several thousand dollars the next opportunity to see the bottom of the lake probably won't come any time soon. sure is that so much could be going. maybe you could get a lot of people a fair enough but when it comes to finding solutions to the world's economic and financial woes is bigger and more better critics of the g twenty claim otherwise. a moment when the world has changed forever. thousands passed to nothingness. thousands wounded.

nurse termers and noone to suffer to the end of the land. it was the first but probably not the last military uses of this weapon. call me more will me come. on come on get on in the future. download the official antti application to your i phone all i pod touch from the i choose ops to. life on the go. video on demand ati's my volt costs an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the ati dot com.

is going to be soon which brightened. about sums from phones to impressions. means phones don't totty don't come. back. members of the expedition have a lot to do by themselves including cooking. to make this stage we will need a lot of a few carrots. is usually made with. so we'll just use poultry. meanwhile the senior researcher is trying to figure out when the ship they're studying was built. is

a russian ship the construction technique is russian weekend in term and its age as of now let's just say it was built in the eighteenth century. however is the first shows detailed inspection could be a problem strong currents and murky waters make it hard to get a good look at the ship the movers itself in position to drop anchor right above the ship. is ready you can. hear i go. he won't make it on his own with such a weight. ships there's no punishment for these divers it's a vacation professional divers get their money from doing different kinds of work

they spend most of their year studying the bottom of the baltic sea where russia is currently building a valuable gas pipeline. and the schedule. of person usually. you know that if a man finds himself lost in the forest or. any other place that has no clear landmarks starts going around in circles one leg is always stronger than the other one ever experienced. this myself and it's the same on the water stronger than the other one. finds the vessel four meters below the surface. covered in silt and nets the ship is barely visible. over an hour underwater and every minute he's at risk of being in tangled in the ship's fishing tackle.

you. see every ship has them that when there are many if they're in the. people have been on them up for decades and often the nets end up lost so they call into boats and are dragged across the bottom and if you look at some ships you'll see that there are clumps of nets stuck to him and you have to be very careful not to get cold when visibility is this bad the worst thing is to get snagged. in that case you'll have to reach around your back to. the diver friendly comes to the surface he was successful this time and this ship can be identified. here are the rocks nails. the quality they iron is clear without corrosion points to the rather great age of the ship. and sundries favorite

design. this ship is loaded up with slabs of limestone the most valuable local community. doesn't have is. it four hundred meters deep depression is forty times as great as that on the surface complete darkness rains down here. and the only light source. is separated from the hostile environment by a thick layer of extra durable glass. we have selected several samples. the main thing is that we have found gas hydrates at the slope of the bad deposits i've the second finding out by town i. stopped right above the place where these unique chemical compound. is from the depths at happy minute. gives us

a finding we were also. found the second point. at the surface is. probably what crews felt like when they saw in the atlantic ocean to shoot footage eventually shown around the world. by the mir vessels searchlights revealed the name of a sunken ship. was among the remotely controlled vessels during the. famous footage. i can see he was easy to work with of course it was a pleasure to. know that every time he comes. up with

mint and the missions are always complicated. rumors about james cameron coming to lake baikal have been circulating ever since the expedition began not everyone believed a famous director would make the dives but mr cameron couldn't turn down an invitation from. each to have worked together on titanic. creative even. if we had a rendezvous with mir two at the bottom we move smoothly in silence. james cameron celebrated his fifty sixth birthday right before taking the plunge when he resurfaced he called it one of the most remarkable experiences he's ever had in. this completely unique situation deepest freshwater

lake in the world it felt like being at the bottom of the ocean. this in petersburg divers expedition on the river is about to conclude they found several sunken russian barges over a five day period using sonar to go in. or smaller weighing a sandbank. i'm sure will run into a ship since countless numbers of them well you have sunk here over a thousand year as. well if you can see the shoreline here. and this silhouette is probably a ship. our vessel will soon turn around and then we'll try inspecting it again. but still they can't manage to get a good look at the ships. it's

hard to. put it on the table but wait. we won't work on this one since it's colored and that's. the visibility is only twenty centimeters down there so you crawl around constantly getting caught up on the net with. the divers in crew still consider the expedition a success their main objective of finding the sunken ships and charting them on maps has been completed. meanwhile on the shores of the black sea somebody petition is nearing its end the tensing jim and will be gone tomorrow but there's still time for one last dive to the submerged ship. a ship.

is located seven meters from the surface it's the gun turret of a sunken armored ship it's a dream he can touch be able to bring to dry land this time. to get to google i think the ten days were spent here were quite fruitful of. course we couldn't bring up deterred but i think next year will be better. than. the expedition traditionally ends with the seaside picnic stories of ship wrecks are told along with several exciting tales about merely running out of oxygen tomorrow these tents will disappear from the coast of the current strait. the hum of compressors pushing oxygen. into cylinders will fall silent and nobody will see
