Discovered sites

Sites which are marked known but not marked as dive sites are usually due to their depth (U-864 and U-486 off Bergen, Norway come to mind) or somehow not suited to diving.

Raised U-boats
We are probably missing a few raised U-boats on this map, East Germany raised a few of them from the Baltic after the war, for example. This does not attempt to show the over 200 scuttled and then raised boats from Operation Regenbogen in the Baltic in May 1945.
