Six buddies loading up a Bavaria C50 with 500-2000kilos of explosives, dive gear, to spend several days at sea sabotaging international natural gas pipelines in 80m of water

@neauoire German media has wildly different views in on this. Some say it's impossible, others say any hobby diver can do it. 🤷

@i_dabble one thing I realized is that anything remotely ocean-related is plagued by couch sailors/divers replyguys.

@neauoire your post made me want to read up on this (thanks!) and it looks like the sabotage was done in shallower sections at just 50m. What a wild story.

@nf you're welcome! Have you ever read Malm's How to Blow Up a Pipeline?

@neauoire when I was a teen, we used to get jobs on gas exploartion lines, doing geological exploration. Lug gas. Swing a chain saw, haul explosives. I have enough knowledge to blow things up to make way for a pipline. But I've never dived below 50 and mostly not more than 30. But I like a challenge. And a navy seal in a weatsuit. Yummy ;-)
