00:31:25,800 as quickly and efficiently as I can. 771 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,767 With a small lightweight dredge like this, 772 00:31:27,767 --> 00:31:31,000 I don't really need a crew and I don't really need help. 773 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,734 I can maneuver it around from underwater 774 00:31:32,734 --> 00:31:34,834 and I can tie it without a tender. 775 00:31:34,834 --> 00:31:37,500 I'm gonna use my rig to go out and explore 776 00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:39,033 a bunch of areas of untouched ground 777 00:31:39,033 --> 00:31:40,467 that Shawn pointed me towards, 778 00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:42,734 while my brother Gabe gets a crew together 779 00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:44,300 and gets to the Havilah in the water. 780 00:31:45,066 --> 00:31:47,166 First trip out, good to go. 781

00:32:06,533 I 'll just drop the anchor down and dive down there, 790 00:32:06,533 --> 00:32:08,867 and I can pull the boat around behind me 791 00:32:08,867 --> 00:32:11,367 and explore kind of wherever I feel like 792 00:32:11,367 --> 00:32:13,033 the gold is leading me towards. 793 00:32:13,033 --> 00:32:16,066 [suspenseful music playing] 794 00:32:20,233 --> 00:32:21,367 We're, like,

00:32:36,166 --> 00:32:37,967 The scary part of diving alone 802 00:32:37,967 --> 00:32:40,233 is that you're underwater 803 00:32:40,233 --> 00:32:43,533 and nobody is monitoring your pump engines 804 00:32:43,533 --> 00:32:45,300 or your water heaters, or your air systems, 805 00:32:45,300 --> 00:32:47,000 or any of that stuff. 806 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,333 So if something goes wrong up
