Personally my theory is that Capt Palmer sold the Thunderfish because he is going to start running charters from that model of the U-85 featured in the other very serious joint video production by One Fin and Palmer. :D

My bad, I couldn't make it through the video...the latency and buffering problems were killing me.

Same here.

With that said; considering the record of dive charter ops here in NE, Palmer selling the Thunderfish would not be a surprise to me. Guess the jokes on me:11:

I still like the fact that they showed that a U-boat could get up on plane.

According to Paul at New England Dive Center


:no Bull SH**:no

After you told Paul about me buying the Thunderfish he called Captain Bill and talked him out of selling it for a few more years.

That's too bad. Think you'll be able to make do with just two boats?

If not, NOAA is planning to decommission the R/V Albatross IV sometime around the end of this year. Its a pretty nice 200 footer and it even has a dive locker with a compressor. I bet you could snag it for only around a million at auction. :D

I hear Capt. Palmer is going to keep the thunderfish in Mystic this year.
 
That's true. We're diving the Onondaga leaving from Mystic.
