Thanks to my good friends at PBS for sending along this information. If you are interested in World War II or in diving this should be of interest. The video is about 9 minutes long.
The all new bi-weekly
series from PBS Digital Studios, “Under H2O,”
captures some of nature’s most exciting underwater events, creatures and
locations.
This week’s video,
‘WWII Corsair Wreck Dive’ features amazing underwater footage of the wreckage of
a World War II Corsair F4U airplane. In this episode, Dr. Musburger and his team
take cameras underwater a few miles south off the island of Oahu. 100 feet down,
the coral covered aircraft is a sanctuary for many interesting sea creatures
including elusive garden eels and bottom-feeding goatfish. The video can be seen
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jxKB4zbYSA,
Dr. Musburger is a Ph.D. Marine Biologist
and winner of a National Emmy Award in Outstanding Camera Work. In 2002, he
founded HD Under H2O, a Hawaii-based production company specializing in
underwater production for educational, scientific, dramatic, and sports outlets.
In teaming up with PBS, Dr. Musburger brings his
considerable talent and knowledge to a new audience and takes them along on his
exciting journeys.
This is amazing. I have long enjoyed diving, and especially wreck diving, and hope to one day dive WWII-era artifacts like this one.
