Identifying the German Submarine SM U-95

[Deep Wreck Diver]

Four years ago today, I was very privileged to be part of the #gasperados dive team that conclusively identified the WW1 German submarine SM U-95. This required us to spend quite a long time scrubbing the prop which is no mean feat at 75 metres!

Full video of this dive:

Elevators on boats... Oh man that must be so nice.

BTW - congrats, that's a neat find!

Most of the decent dive boats in the UK have diver lifts nowadays.

I believe it started in Weymouth on the south coast many years ago and that started an 'arms race'. One of the Scapa Flow liveaboards had a twin lift at one time so you AND your buddy could come out at the same time

That was inevitable after Dive Time went out there and upped the game.

It's been 10 years since I was in Malta - it's great diving - I need to go again!!
