Their efforts paid off yesterday when they recovered thousands of bottles of champagne, wine and (cone-yak) cognac.
The spirits are 92 years old- on a schooner dating back to World War one.
It was 1916 that a German U-boat sent the schooner down 200 feet to the ocean floor in 1916 and its been there until now.
Divers hoped to restore the schooner, but when it began to break apart they decided to return it to the ocean instead.
As for the bottles of champagne-- they are in cold storage and will eventually be shipped to Sweden or Denmark to be sold at an auction.
