The first episode of the fifth season, titled Amber Chamber, takes a look at the expedition of divers of the Baltictech group to the wreck of the German steamer SS Karlsruhe. The finding of the wreck caused quite a sensation and extremely high interest not only in diving circles. Ultimately, the whole affair ended with the largest diving expedition in the history of our country. However, is the Karlsruhe wreck case really over for good? We are still waiting to find out the answer to this question.
