Default Diving the wreck of the USS Emmons

Recently went to Okinawa and did a couple scuba dives down to the wreck of the WWII destroyer USS Emmons.

While minesweeping the waters off the main island of Okinawa in preparation for the land invasion, the USS Emmons was struck by 5 kamikaze pilots almost simultaneously. 60 men on board perished and an additional 77 we wounded and the ship was lost.

It now rests at about 40-45 meters (~140 feet) deep, which is now the deepest i've ever gone.

Some of the video footage coloring is a little weird. I was trying out a red dive filter on my go pro which was rated at 15+ meters. I figured at 40 it would work fine, but it still ended up causing everything to look red as fuck in the final video. I did what i could to correct it. Oh well, i'm still happy with the way it turned out.
