After the assessment, the team decided to change the strategy by changing the underwater camera in order to be able to work in extreme conditions, such as in Bali Strait.
“Based on BMKG data and current dimensions in this place, it was concluded that the ideal shooting time was between 10:00 to 12:00 the next day,” he said.
The team returned to diving on July 12, 2025. In the third experiment, at 11:41, the camera finally managed to record the video and photographs of the crash of the ship identified as KMP Tun Pratama Jaya in the reverse position. The distinctive features of the stomach, the ramp and the name of the ship are clearly visible in the record.
“The efforts of visualization were stopped at 12:10 after the ocean currents became stronger, which complicates further pictures,” he said.
