Chuuk Wreck Penetration

Diving into the hull of the Heian Maru, a Japanese WWII shipwreck that was destroyed by US bombers during operation hailstorm.

I shot this with the same Canon Powershot SD500 that I used to make the dancing video. Canon sells an underwater housing that allows me to bring it down to 130 feet. The camera and housing cost less than $500 combined.

I disagree, it makes the footage far more realistic, and really enhances the atmosphere; at least he hasn't ruined it by playing music in the background.

man i would be too scared to do that, in case some kind of Octa-Squido-Kraken was in there waiting to eat my skull...still it looked like fun. ;)

Looks like a old radio to me

From what look like the dials on the up-facing side, I'd guess its a radio.

Is that a giant Lego-block at 0:55?
