After filming the wreck of Titanic for five hours 麻豆官网首页入口 Northern Ireland's environment correspondent Mike McKimm, along with submarine pilot Anatoly Sagalevich and professional diver Rory Golden, begins to climb to the surface and reflect on what he has witnessed.

The submarine rolls around in the swell as it re-emerges and awaits its lift back onto its mother ship, the Keldysh. The crew have been under water now for almost ten hours, an extraordinary journey in an extraordinary vessel.

A bag of polystyrene cups tethered to the submarine give some indication of the extreme water pressure experienced almost four kilometres below sea level. They return as miniaturised versions of their former selves, perfect small-scale souvenirs of the dive.

What is overwhelmingly apparent to Rory Golden is the marked deterioration of the shipwreck. He comments on the visible difference from his previous dive five years previously, a sobering thought with which to leave Titanic.
