I dived upon this U-boat in 2001 and this was the
very first image I saw of her. A fascinating dive.
She lies just off
the SW tip of Ireland in approx 45 metres of normally very clear
water. Although there are many variations on how she sank in 1945 it
is probable that she hit a stray mine. All her crew were taken
prisoner ashore.
If you're a diver -
it's definitely worth the trip. |
