Fossil Graveyard Madagascar is well-known for its extremely unique wildlife, and if you go back thousands of years, its plants and wildlife were even more peculiar. Australian Diver Ryan Dart decided to go for a swim in a cave. He said in the worst case scenario it would be a great surf spot! 10. A Strip Club Marine biologist Gil Koplovitz found himself reporting a rather unusual discovery in 2013, when he shared his discovery of an abandoned underwater strip club. Not quite a new species of shark, but definitely not something you’re expecting underwater while diving right? 9. Massive Mystery Knife Several years ago, an image of three divers posing with what appears to be a massive knife began making rounds on social media platforms, including Reddit and Facebook. The gigantic object seems to dwarf the individuals holding it, who you’d think would pair the photograph with a story about how and where they found it, and its suspected origins. 8. Classic Cars If you owned or had access to an expensive car, the last thing you’d probably do is dump it into a river -- unless you were a getaway driver, that is. Acting on a tip from a self-proclaimed former getaway driver earlier this year, divers from Adventures with Purpose, a Youtube channel dedicated to retrieving valuable submerged cars, found nine vehicles near a boat launch at the bottom of the Tualatin River outside Portland, Oregon, including a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 and a first-generation Mazda RX-7. 7. Ancient Shipwrecks In June 2019, divers near the small Greek island of Levitha discovered the remains of five ancient shipwrecks, all around 2,000 years old, along with an 880-pound (400 kg) giant granite anchor, sitting 150 feet (45 meters) beneath the water’s surface. Ancient sailors in the Aegean Sea lived a risky life, and losing everything at sea was an everyday possibility. 6. Noxious Underwater Spring Earlier this year, divers off the coast of the Philippines discovered an underwater spring 200 feet (60 meters) beneath the water’s surface that is spewing carbon dioxide like champagne bubbles. 5. Long Island Shipwreck Late in the Civil War, the Confederate commerce raider vessel CSS Tallahassee encountered the Adriatic off the Montauk, Long Island coast, turning it from a ship into a shipwreck. Earlier this year, divers re-discovered the remains of the 181-foot (55 meters) long Adriatic 30 miles (48 km) south of Montauk Point, 156 years after it sank to the bottom of the Atlantic. 4. Ancient Egyptian Temple In mid-2019, Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities announced the discovery of a trove of artifacts, including gold jewelry, coins, the missing piece of a 43-foot (13 meters) long, 16-foot (5 meters) wide ceremonial boat, and the remains of a temple, among the underwater ruins of the ancient city of Heracleion. 3. A Sword In A Stone Last October, divers from RK BUK, a boating and diving club in Banja Luka, Bosnia, uncovered a medieval sword at the bottom of the 150-mile (241 km) long Vrbas River, 36 feet (11 meters) below the water’s surface. It had sat, stuck in a stone, for around seven centuries before the divers found it in relatively good condition, considering the amount of time it was submerged! 2. Huge WWII Explosive In late 2019, the largest unexploded bomb ever discovered in Poland was spotted in one of its busiest shipping channels. Designed by the British f0r attacking underground targets, the seismic, six-ton (5.5 tonnes) explosive, is known as a Tallboy. It was found in the Piast Channel by workers from a German company who were tasked with deepening the water body. 1. Train Wreck Dive shop owner Steve Broadbelt was shocked when he discovered 13 partially buried train-wheel and axle sets in the shallow waters off the village of East End on Grand Cayman, the largest of the Cayman Islands. Broadbelt and a colleague found the coral-encrusted parts about 20 feet (6 meters) beneath the surface using dive scooters, while performing routine maintenance on some underwater cameras belonging to his store. #underwater #discoveries #originsexplained
