OCEAN EXPLORERS
Ocean X Team and Ixplorer found the Russian Empire submarine SOM, sunken on Swedish waters in 23 May 1916.
The goal was to salvage the submarine, take care of the remains of the 18 submariners and then bring the submarine to Russia as a gift.
The relatives to the crew supported our project all the way.
