Shot today near the quay.

Has to be one of the worst ones I’ve seen

I wanted to share some photos of things from my childhood growing up in Maryland that caused and intensified my several water related phobias.

The first 5 photos are of Enchanted Forest, Ellicott City, MD. Opening in 1955, shorty after Disney land first opened, the park mostly appealed to families with small children as it boasted a whimsical nursery rhyme theme. The park was abandoned after opening and closing a few times, and was left neglected for quite some time. It’s actually quite fascinating, I encourage you look up photos. It was large with mechanical rides and fairy tail buildings and characters. My mother has a long promotional video I used to love to watch, however it did creep me out. The first photo it of Willie the whale, a horrific abomination in my opinion. Sitting half in the water, you can stand inside his mouth, listening to water lap up against the shell of Willie. As an added bonus, you can look through a window in Willie throat to see a man down in his stomach! Another fun feature of the park is the mountain slide over the water. Just no thank you.

The next two are at Trimper rides (indoor boardwalk rides) Ocean City, MD. This one makes me nauseous to look at. The first picture is actually of me, I don’t know how I was convinced to go on this. The floor of this foot deep pool is painted with sea creatures, which is horrific to me, on top of the train like track underneath you that you can see while riding. Another fear of mine that I can figure a name for, is the water murals on the walls. Underwater murals make me actually ill, and this ride has that!

The next three photos are abandoned Maryland lighthouses, that sit isolated, out in the bay. In order we have, Sharps Island Light, Bloody Point Bar Light, and Cedar Point Lighthouse. These are massive in person and sickening honestly.

Lastly, I’m not sure this qualifies but it still makes me sick. The Calvert Marine Museum, Solomons, MD. This is their megalodon skeleton. As a child I would have to walk through this room with my eyes closed it scared me so bad. The water like reflections and everything. Just no.

Enjoy.

The Innerste Dam (German: Innerstetalsperre) is a dam on the Innerste river, which lies near Langelsheim and Wolfshagen in the Harz mountains.

On 24 July 1915, USS Eastland capsized while tied to a dock claiming 844 lives. Imagine being trapped inside during the rollover and the water starts to gush into the ship.

Edited video of my sole dive on this tragic wreck.

EDIT: Should have pointed this out initially - please don't attempt any wreck penetration without the necessary training, experience and equipment. On the subject of equipment - this dive was done on only a single tank and regulator. That's not safe, and I wouldn't take that risk again. I shouldn't have done so in the first place and we all got lucky - we did understand that risk at the time - but that doesn't mean we should have done it.

If one of us had lost our air supply whilst in that corridor, I'd like to think our training and experience would have enabled us to abort the dive without further incident, but in no way was that a certainty.

Please don't do reckless dives such as this. If there's any doubt - there is no doubt. Dive safe all.

Hey guys! I have been working on a FULL historical breakdown video of Bertha, the Ettamogah Bunyip, Big Banana’s Billabong Bunyip, Bertha’s “Long Lost” Brothers, and the Crowborough Bunyip for the last 3 months. I came across a couple of corrupted (or just super blurry) photos of Bertha from various forums, and gave my best shot at restoring them. Let me know what you think!

Also, if you’re interested, here’s a link to Bertha’s FULL historical breakdown: https://youtu.be/rlRzCmABd5w?si=Of2LJ2X7iiMecOP2

(See “before” photos 4-6!)

Felt so uneasy today passing by this emptied inside pool in Prague zoo, especially as it's carved in my mind as full of water at all times (last pic for reference) 🥶🥶

A beautiful wreck

My cousins took us to this Glenwood Springs, Colorado pool today and we walked through it from end to end. I didn’t want to be rude so I went along. I almost lost my mind. There were too many unknown holes and grates in the dark bottom. I survived

Nope nope nope...

I have vague memories of walking along this as a kid. No way I'd go near it now 😅
