Divers in Australia A finished a historic dive on an old centenary sinking, exploring the remains of the machine in the “ocean depths of black” off Sydney, a diving organization said on social networks.
The team of Dive Project Sydney, a group of divers trained who work to discover and document the shipwrecks, led the very first dive to the SS Nemesis, a crafts that flowed in 1904 while wearing coal. The 32 people aboard the ship died in the sinking, said the diving team. The ship flowed on a stormy night, according to Australia of the Australia of the Environment and Heritage of New South Wales in Australia. The shipwreck occurred too quickly for the launch of rescue canoes, said the agency.
The shipwreck site was only discovered in 2022, the agency said. The wreck is on the seabed at around 16 miles off the coast of Sydney. A distance ship identified the ship as the Nemesis in 2023. But the depth of the wreckage made it more difficult for learning this. Nemesis is around 525 feet underwater, said the diving team and the Heritage Agency.
The wreckage trip was also told in a Detailed article by a member of the diving team.

The mission on the site was facing certain obstacles. On June 7, the group gathered at 4 am, the local time to try to dive on the site, but was embarrassed by stormy weather conditions. On June 18, the weather conditions were clearer and allowed divers to “try one of the deepest technical dives on the Australian coast,” said the diving team.
There is no light once the divers get about 390 feet underwater, said the diving team. This meant that the divers traveling in the enemy worked in a complete darkness, following a line which had been abandoned at the wreckage. It took two tests to set up the line and make sure that the divers could follow it safely to the wreckage.
The divers were able to use lights to enlighten their work. There was visibility linked to the crystal, said the diving team. The divers worked in two teams of two to study the wreck, starting with its “crushed and crumbled” bow and going to the bridge, filming stacks of smoke and other distinctive characteristics. The team only had nine minutes to study the sinking.

There was dispersed coal on the wreckage site, said the diving team, but no artifact like plates, cutlery or personal items was visible. Photos also show fish and other maritime lives in the region.
The longest part of the trip was the ascent on the surface, said the diving team. The divers took six hours to make their way on the surface and decompress safely.
Another mission on the shipwreck site is planned, said the diving team. This mission will involve completing an analysis of the wreckage to rely on the information collected by the distant ship in 2023.
