#8 Rented a sailboat did they? And navigated all by themselves to a spot right above the pipeline without any help at all from the US Navy or the CIA. Sure I believe that.

#9 ^ It gets better. The pipeline is at a depth of roughly 100 meters. Sport divers max out around 30 meters. Below that, you need special gas mixtures and decompression equipment depending on how deep and how long.
Sure, it may have been some guys and a boat, but they had interesting friends.

#10 I just checked a map to make sure, Ukraine has no access to the Baltic Sea. That means these intrepid sailors must have traveled to another country that does have a Baltic port to rent this sailboat, either that or they sailed all the way from the Black Sea to the Baltic. That must have been quite a voyage, totally doable but it would take weeks or even months, six guys sharing space on a little sailboat with all that high tech diving gear.

But if they traveled to, say, Germany or Poland or Lithuania they would have had to smuggle whatever explosive charge they used across international borders. Inquiring minds want to know, how did they get away with that?

And, even though we know that US Navy ships were in the vicinity at the time, the Ukrainians are quite certain pulled this caper all by themselves?
