- The unbelievable relic S.S. Thistlegorm ,from the second world war, in its tragic and sistemic destruction caused by bad human habits.
I made this documentary in 2016 ( 5 years of underwater footage in 1500 dives and 1 year of editing) to aware divers and authority about the condition of this beautiful underwater museum, bombed and sunk by German Luftwaffe in the 6th of October 1941 and discovered by Jacques Yves Cousteau in the 1955.
I've undertaken 5 trips in the past year to Thistlegorm, 4 dives on each, studying the wreck, researching it offline in detail and I really fear for it's future. The wreck is an incredible site, I've been lucky to dive many dives with just myself and buddy on the boat, but all too often the mass market inexperienced divers and bashing into the wreck, each other and something should be done.
I hope the authroities find a way to protect, I'd suggest a floating mooring system, where boats can moor and then ferry in by smaller boat. Fixed lines to the areas each side and above the wreck.
I hope Thistlegorm is preserved for future generations, for me I never tire of a dive here.
Stunning dive,back in 1995...
I believe we were the only boat on site that day.
Great information.
You are welcome!

Isn't an easy decision...
