Cosa tratta questo video

After leaving their boat, Pickle, at anchor in San Juan, Puerto Rico, for three weeks, the crew returns to find the vessel’s two anchors entangled with an adjacent boat's ground tackle in 32 feet of water.18:07 The crew successfully retrieves one anchor but finds the second buried and hooked beneath another vessel's chain.19:21 Sam attempts to free the anchor by free-diving, but the depth and the complexity of the entanglement require more time underwater than a single breath allows.20:16 A small, portable scuba tank provides only five minutes of air, which proves insufficient to dig out and unshackle the buried gear.25:28 After failing to rent a full-sized scuba tank due to shop hours, the crew decides to remain in San Juan for an additional day to secure proper diving equipment.24:27 They plan to use a retrieval line and a full tank to clear the fouled anchor before departing for the Virgin Islands.25:28
