Get that 100 meter certification already! It sure seems to come up a lot 😂

[realdarrenhuang]

Legend has it that they actually found the gold. That’s why the show stops after this episode.

[lwmuzik]

crowdfund this dude and lets get him his 100m swimming badge bless hahahaha

Imagine picking berries one day and suddenly having a lake there the next.

[ironicallyvague]

No way they tossed a safe full of treasure into the lake, they buried it somewhere in the hopes they could return one day...

[dugongpoo]

I dived in a muddy pond on a farm in Wales many years ago looking for King Arthurs Golden Chalice. Never found a thing.

[depthcharger]

Maybe the real safe was the friends we made along the way

[wilfredprins]

That deeper canon is 4/5 under the silt. Any safe, if there, easily is covered under a layer that thick

[thomasphillips]

This guy really needs to get certified to go deeper diving lol

[df]

Monty, im sure you found the gold, thats why youre not producing any documents anymore.

[kaba]

You would think by now Monty would consider getting qualified to go below 60 meters 🤔

[cerdic]

Cool Documentary, i've been enjoying your work and your blend of historical investigation with underwater exploration.

[tigtrager]

That safe is long gone. Someone else found it already. Fearing having to report is as a find, they just kept it and went on their way without ever telling anyone.

[BryanMennie]

“The nearest decompression facility is in South Africa”. Nonsense. Lüderitz in Namibia is a hub of commercial diving with several chambers right there.

[reamer]

Cool story. If I was in charge of that much money, diamonds etc. I think I'd dig a secret hole somewhere and bury the contents but throw the empty safe in the water so all my soldiers thought the knew where to look. Imagine making this story, giving up only to find out later on they had been sitting on top of it at a camp fire all the time.

"there are no accurate maps of the lake"

now I'm just imagining some african guy with a crappy stand beside the lake that says "inaccurate maps" lol...
people wondering why people keep disappearing in the lake, it's cuz there's some guy sellin inaccurate maps.

[madirishman]

We never found the gold but, I did manage to put a deposit down for my Lamborghini and bought a Chateau in South of France. Ah well, you lose some, you..

[rontourage]

That had to be a lot of planning, and money involved to do this trip! Thanks for sharing! God bless

[mikeradford]

@38:00 could Ilsa Schatz not have pinpointed the exact location where the soldier either pushed/witnessed/knew of the exact spot where the "safe" was pushed into the lake, she was taken there and maybe would remember the place well?

[alexgreen]

4:07 I like how the locals are just casually waiting for them to find anything so they can rob them after 😂😂😂
