Also, isn't it more respectful that people remember these sites then just letting it sit at the bottom rotting until all thats left is a pile of rust.. If you think about it some men have lost there lives to get down to these wrecks and experience history in its purest form To me thats the ultimate showing of respect. It's like saying to the crew, you were so signifficant in history that I'm willing to risk everything just to get a glimpse.

Sunk 6 May, 1945 in the North Atlantic south-east of New London, in position 41.13N, 71.27W, by depth charges from the US destroyer escort USS Atherton and the US patrol frigate USS Moberly. 55 dead (all hands lost).

They were indeed a couple of un-questionably human femurs and humerus (thigh and upper arm bones) in the film clip. As a university lecturer in medicine I can vouch for it with absolute certainty. As far as bones dissolving in salt water goes, you are totally misinformed. You seem to be confusing your personal opinion with fact. Complete skeletons from the wreck of the Mary Rose for example, were recovered. And she was a ship which sank in the 16th century.

It’s a WAR grave you disrespectful cunt! It’s not supposed to be interfered with it in any way and that includes diving on or in it. Secondly, the men entombed in the U-boat deserve to be left in peace, and protected from desecration by lowlife pricks such as you. Don’t delude yourselves that you’re recording this for posterity. The only reason you’re doing it is for your own gratification. Go and drown in a wreck. I’ll happily go down and ogle what’s left of you and your ilk’s filthy carcasses.

@ziegle9876 I used normal air & a single steel 100 to dive this wreck back in the 90's. Certainly 250' is do-able but it is dangerous on air and always was. One day everything is fine the next a problem. Trimix though expensive is the way to go! At 125' which is where I was on this dive, I would use a 28% mix which would place me near 1.4ppo2. That would extend time, be safe and perhaps stave off Narcosis; though I doubt it, as there will still be about 72% Nitrogen in cylinder.

Would be better if you slowed down the panning...

REALLY? Then how did I dive just with compressed air to 76m (250ft) and live? Except that the air felt pleasantly liquid I did not notice any strange effects.

Sunk two days before the end of the war because of totally stupid orders from an already dead maniac. So pointless..

Desecrating a war grave tsk tsk tsk.
