anyone know identity of this? We found this 92 m down off West coast of Phuket from info from local fishermen. Its giving off a heavy gas which rises slowly off wreck cargo bay visible at surface on a calm day. Markings on lifeboat on sea bed are in russian - although some evidence it may be german. makers plate on nav light (on sea bed) says 1966 - so poss vietnam war era - anyone got any idea who it belongs to? We haven't identified it yet - it appears to be about 130m L so need an u/water scooter thing to have any chance to survey properly - only 15-20 mins max bottom time with trimix and 32/50/100 dec gasses. Its on shipping route to Burma - other ships pass within 1-2 km. Not seen any evidence of hole in it..... have some evidence that chinese involved in very technical (possibly a one off project/research/military?) way either with cargo or ship's operation - most likely cargo.
