  • The Mysterious Disappearance of Free Diver Natalia Molchanova
    2024/03/05

    Natalia Molchanova (Russian: Наталья Вадимовна Молчанова) was a Russian champion free diver, multiple world record holder, and the former president of the Russian Free Dive Federation. Natalia was the world’s most decorated free diver, holding 41 world records and winning 23 gold medals during her career.


    Free diving is considered one of the deadliest extreme sports. Free divers may descend more than 300 ft (100 m) without using an oxygen tank. At such depths, a diver’s heart rate begins to slow, their blood vessels shrink and their lungs compress. Divers often have to be helped to the surface and revived because diving to such depths squeezes the lungs and can cause major damage..

  • The World’s First Submarine Accident - John Day
    2024/02/17

    The 1700’s were a period of growing connectivity between towns, cities and countries in Europe. Empire and increased trade meant that a large amount of cash was available to some of the population, not all of which were particularly educated. There were vast opportunities for conmen to get people to invest in the first mass pyramid and Ponzi schemes as well as in funding somewhat schemes based on unproven science. This turned out to be the case for John Day - an uneducated inventor that got himself into trouble with his overconfidence.

  • The Gruesome Disaster of the SS Eastland
    2024/01/30

    A forgotten disaster worse than the Titanic.The most deadly shipwreck in Great Lakes history. The Eastland was docked near the Clark Street Bridge, the bow a mere nineteen feet from the wharf. Before the lines were cast, the ship rolled portside into the Chicago River where it came to rest in a muddy 20 feet of water. More than 2,500 passengers and crew members were on board, filled with anticipation for the day's excursion and picnic. In just minutes, 844 people lost their lives, including 22 entire families.

  • Diving Gone WRONG: The Andrea Doria (A Diver’s Worst Nightmare)
    2024/01/23

    The Andrea Doria is considered one of the most dangerous wrecks to dive. At least 22 scuba divers have lost their lives diving on the wreck. Almost since the day it sank, the Andrea Doria has been a beacon for treasure hunters and adventure seekers. It offers the lure of history, artifacts — and danger.

    Diving conditions at the wreck site are considered very treacherous. Strong currents and heavy sediment can reduce visibility to zero and pose serious hazards to diving, making it hard to navigate around the 700 foot long ship. Holes in and out of the Andrea Doria have opened and closed through the years on the decaying wreck, making it easy to get lost and disoriented. Thick fishing nets drape over the hull of the ship. An invisible web of thin fishing lines, which can snag scuba gear, pose another danger. The ship’s depth also puts it well below the limit recommended for recreational divers.
