Deep-Sea Stories
Deep-Sea Stories is about U.S. Navy Divers. I interview the living historians of Navy Divers who talk about Navy Divers and dive commands we served. These are the same stories we told sitting at bars and beaches all over the world with Navy Divers. We want to communicate as many Deep-Sea Stories as possible. When someone asks about Navy Divers 200 years from now, our memories will live through our Deep-Sea Stories.

Master Diver Ralph Bowdish takes us back to the Vietnam era of diving and salvage near Saigon. He talks about tunneling in the rivers, rigging for a Bolster lift, and parbuckling using the MK5 and Jack Brown dive rigs.

He also served with Master Diver Sam Adams, Master Diver Sam Sangrey, Master Diver Jerry Whitmer, Guennie Vendeto, Diving Officer/Master Diver Red Thomas, and Master Diver Bob Merriman.
