Dear Joe
by reading your article in the forum,I saw that you have the experiance of entering a sunken u-boat.
As I am a pro diver and with my team we specialize in WWII wrecks in Greek waters,I would like to ask you
the following:We have dived several times a sunken VIIC u-boat in the Aegean,at 78 meters depth,but we have only visited the outside part of the wreck,and now
we decided to enter it in our next dives so would it be possible to tell me how exactly shall I avoid to get on any live ammunition on board?
I know already that there was an ammo storage room on the floor between the captain's and the radio room,is this a removable"hatch"on the floor,or how big is it?
I would be greatfull if you could help me as you are also aware of the dangers of deep diving and penetrating a submarine.
Your help will be of great value.
Best regards
