Actually was there to view the Yukon before sinking. Not sure what state it is in now, as it has been over 20+years since it was sunk / dove. There were local schoolchildren that did murals in the ship when it was at harbor for decon of all potential harmful chemicals still abroad. The real main turret barrel was not on the ship due to security concerns, so a lamp post was affixed to give the impression of a turret barrel. Other than that, from memory, there was suppose to be a national competition for board game "battleship" and the kid winner would be able to "sink the Yukon" . But rough swells brought the ship down on her side overnight, when the cut-outs to dive in and out of were too close to the waterline. There was hope to have it go straight down and sit right up at the seabed. Actually was a fun dive, that kind of messes with your head since it keeled over and travelling up stairwells sideways, had a weird vertigo, as you travel one way but bubbles travel the other way. Brain had a hard time with the difference. Definitely a dive if you can do it though.

New subscriber. Brave, very brave. Great content.

dont forget to check out the ghost town right near mono lake. VERY worth the visit if youre in the area.

logical?

Yikes. What does it do to your ears???

That’s why elders say…look but do not touch🤣

“I don’t want to ruin my scuba gear…” What about the person attached to the scuba gear? Be safe out there!

l feel it should be renamed Windex Lake.

What is "cold" for you?

Beautiful area, I remember the aquarium, post navel graduate school,pointlobose and Dennis the menace Park ❤️.

Back in 1985 I was in USAF Navigator training at Mather AFB. We used Mono lake as an initial radar fix as the island surrounded by water was easy to see on radar screen.

Loved the video. I live in California and I've driven by the lake many times. Thanks for the closeup view.

Ughhh I need to go on a dive trip so bad 😩

I kayaked in the lake and it appeared that my boat had been painted white.

I've dove in 1.5 pH sulfuric acid, with Miller hard hat and drysuit. Turned the yellow hard hat olive green, and bleached the red/navy rental drysuit to shades of gray. But, we got the valve fixed! Also, stay away from any sulfide layers, as they will eat the chrome off your regulator and valves. In the Great Lakes, a 5mm skin-in wetsuit (like Henderson Gold Core) is usually good for most dives above the thermocline (at ~60 feet), and short dives below. For paddling on lakes, recommend full 0.5 - 3mm wetsuit and boots if there's any floating green algae in summer, and thicker 5 - 7mm in fall/winter/spring. Yes, it will be hot in summer, but not getting poisoned by the algae is the best. I've had exposed skin go numb up to where the wetsuit covered the skin. Anatoxin A (also known as VFDF (very fast death factor)) is not something to play with!

Thanks, this really did help to

Mo-no lake Not mon-o lake. Drove by this lake as a kid going camping with parents to Yosemite, and remember the lake full with a resort and sailboats out on the water. Now after years of L.A. taking water from the streams that flow into the lake it is rather low. It has come up a bit in the last few years but nothing like it used to be. I wouldn't swim in that water if you paid me. Yuck.

감사합니다.

@AzulUnlimited I would like to inquire about sharing data to a local blog post. This video is so useful. So I shared it with some close divers, but they didn't really understand the content. Because RUclips's automatic translation did not work well. For that reason, I translated this content and posted it on a Korean blog site. Of course, I recorded the source at the end of the article so that it links to RUclips. [Azul Unlimited] 수중 부력조절 요령 m.blog.naver.com/joyrunner/223534749885 I would like to keep this post going and would like to hear your opinions. Thank you.

I'm using 2x 100HP steel with NO weight and I love it!

Not so much diving as a pickling.

Amazing

This was so cool. Best of luck to your future endeavours

All I can think about is Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here. It would have been fitting Music for this excellent video.

My skin looked amazing for weeks after the swelling went down. Even my gums got a little puffy.

What a bad ass! Gorgeous video

Caustic water for humans yet the delicate shrimp thrive.

3:23 in an I’m guessing you may be consuming a few flies through your snorkel or otherwise. Good luck.🍀

Are Christian’s allowed to drive with you?

If you're ever off the 5 freeway in Irvine, let me know. I was in scuba for 10 years and have some lead you can have. 🤘Be safe doing what you're doing, but you already know 🤙

Great video. One of the most memorable things in my life is driving the 395 on the hill above mono lake and seeing the entire area covered in snow and the beautiful lake. It looked like the Swiss Alps. So beautiful and epic.

I thought Mono Lake was all dried up... as the Climate people would have you believe.

I’ve swam (basically floated) in Mono lake a couple of times- be sure to put vaseline on your lips and on any cuts before you get in and bring fresh water to rinse off afterwards. I wore my regular swim goggles but be careful when taking them off so the salt water doesn’t run into your eyes. It’s crazy seeing all the little brine shrimp looking back at you! It’s a fun, unique and beautiful place.

I've swam around in Mono a bit, and kayaked a bunch. Can confirm the puffy lips from an early foray; I tend to keep my head out these days. Regardless, everything needs a THOROUGH rinse off afterwards. Easy to float though, so that's fun. Sorta the opposite of Crater Lake, where you sink so fast it's downright terrifying.

I’ve been there a lot of times and that water look so clean, never see that before . That’s water is like a dense green soup really sticky and look like poisonous water every time I’ve there.

Overall pretty good tips, however I disagree with your breathing. A normal breath. Slow and deep like the book says is wrong. I'll compare my methods with anyones anyday and anytime. Deep makes people ascent at the end of exhalation, not good for photography or hunting. IMO

That was an AWESOME vlog... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐... THANKS for sharing! I applaud your courage for returning... it simply had to be done! 👏 It's incredible how surviving the bad times turns one into a "better" version of themselves! As always... the videos make the viewer feel like they are right on the dive! Clownfish and Anemone 👍 TORTUGAS (my favorite ocean critter) 👍👍 Lionfish 👍 SHARKS 👍 Drift dives in challenging currents 👍👍 NIGHT DIVES (where the ocean comes alive) 👍👍👍 Komodo looks amazing... maybe one day I will tear myself away from Baja ☀🌵 and pay a visit! Do some scuba, windsurfing, exploring, dancing and partying... all the usual boring stuff! 🤣 Hasta la Vista...

The video is beautiful! congratulations, but I have a small question for you Azul: regardless of how long the hose is, isn't there a risk of choking a bit when it's positioned like that? you can show how you do? thanks

Sea Monkeys!

There is another kind of drift/current dive that is quite common in the Netherlands in The Eastern Scheldt river (Oosterschelde), and there's likely many other places this is done. The river is a tidal estuary and you plan your dive around high or low tide. This, when planned around high tide, results in the current taking you inland for the first half of your dive, and seaward for the second half. The inverse would happen around low tide. You exit where you entered the water.

I didn’t know you were a magician. You made a diver disappear. 😂.

Its really not that bad I've swam in mono many times, I wouldn't recommend the hot spring at navy beach though (super high in arsenic and other nasty stuff, also its just a mud hole). Its pretty cool to kayak around the tufa though it's an oddly eerie experience. One of my favorite times at mono we were chilling at navy beach cooling off after hiking Panum crater and there was a suv coming so I told my friends watch this. I ran over to the truck and grabbed my fishing pole cast out and started pretending to fish, when the car showed up it was some dumbasses from socal and the first thing out of their mouths was "how's the fishing?" I popped open the cooler and showed them all the fish we'd caught on the loop that morning. They were all excited getting their gear out to catch the big one while we were pulling out, I'm probably an asshole but we had some good laughs around the campfire that night lol.

Thanks! Wow, this is exactly what I want to learn about right now!

Thats great advice.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I don't scuba, but do the same things to my wife, pull her eye lids open and say look! Cool, right lol!!!!

The Ph of Mono Lake is between 9 - 10. The US Department of Transportation and EPA deem a chemical corrosive <2 and >12.5. The Mono Lake water are sufficient alkaline and corrosive enough to damage aluminum and other metals, as well as your skin! You are very brave, and I appreciate your sacrifice to bring us this outstanding video. Thank you!

Dive instructors die poor lol I'm a dive instructor I teach because I love the sport but it's definitely not how I make my living
