We went to Kas – turkey for diving in the Mediterranean Sea. It’s a really nice village in Turkey.

You can find the my 3D-Models of that trip here: Turkey | Dive3D.eu

Yesterday we gave a 3D Model of ‘WreckX’ to the grandson of the captain. The steamer “Elsa” sank in 1936 in a gale storm in the north sea. Ten men died – two survived. The Team #gezeitentaucher found the wreck in 2007. In 2017, after many measurements and many dives, we finally identified it. Last month we went there again and I managed to get a full scan of the wreck in one 65min dive. I love this model – it shows more details that we were able to document manually in the past 10 years.

I used three Gopros. Two with 20cm distance on the left side and a third with 100cm distance on the right side.

The north sea has difficult conditions for divers. There is much current because of the tides and the visibility is always an issue. It was a challenge to try 3D-Models here. But it was worth a try.
Our team Gezeitentaucher had some days together with GhostDiving. I used the opportunity and tried 3D-Capturing. of three wrecks.

The lake in Hemmoor is a main diving spot in Germany. It is nice to practice there a little bit with my whole family.

2021 we had another project week.
Here are some wrecks and objects that we found

Artillery school ship Carl Zeiss

In Lithuania, close to the harbor of Klaipeda / Memel lies a huge wreck. The name of the wreck site was “W30”. It looked like it was not identified, or at least we didn’t find any further information.
I managed to capture the whole 80m wreck in just one 65min dive. That was for sure quite a tough job.
After inspecting the wreck and after compare of the remains with ships that sank in that area, it was clear that this would be the school ship CARL ZEISS. It sank during the second world war. It is such a beautiful wreck!
Depth: 25m

I wrote a survey report. about that wreck. You can fing it here: CarlZeiss

Fishing vessel

Close to the harbor of Klaipeda we found this small wreck. Looks like a fishing vessel.
Not identified yet.

My first model of an entire wreck site.

June 21st 2021 we found a new wreck. Cpt. Linas from the Baltic Sear Heritage Rescue Project saw it on his sonar scan of NZ55 while we were on the way back from an other wreck. We decided to dive there and look what we would find. Indeed there was a nice wooden wreck of around 32m length. It looks like the cargo was wood. It is still not identified.

3700 pictures from two Gopro7

I started capturing bigger objects. Here we have the compass (housing) of the steamer Edith Bosselmann. It is made from wood. The ship sunk in 1942

Model: 1056 pictures from two Gopro 7

The steamer ELBING IX sank in the First World War in 1913. It ran into a mine near Klaipeda (formerly Memel) when it was on its way to rescue the castaways of the warship FRIEDRICH CARL.

The bell was found by the BSHRP in 2018. It’s on the wooden deck.
In 2019 I was able to take pictures of the bell, which I was able to convert into a 3D model with the help of Robert Szymaniuk.

Fair BOOT 2020

At BOOT 2020 we presented the model of the bell at the booth of the Baltic Sea Heritage Rescue Project and every day we printed a bell.
