Hello, this wreck still proves to be elusive. Does anyone have any news on it?
Have been searching for it this summer with no success. It is not sunk where it is indicated to be sunk. There has been talk of it at 90m, however i suspect it is deeper, maybe more to 110m to 120n, which would go some way to explain why no one has found it.
There were a lot of coral divers in this region many years ago who did a lot of deep diving and also a lot of fishermen regularly setting nets, so i think it is not obvious where it is.
As stated it is a big wreck.
Any assistance with the reports on U72 or naval reports on the crew rescue would be gratefully received
