Hello from Sword Beach

[zebu14]

Hello,

I'm a french diver and I live in Normandy, close to Sword beach and its wrecks.
I dive since I am 10 and I recently obtained my passport to 60m depths.

Apart from diving, I use to build model planes/drones, I like electronics and photography.

Cheers.

Thank you all for your messages.

In the area, there are a lot of wrecks, mainly from WWII (and WWI) : vehicles, ships, armed raw materials transports...
A lot of them are within depth of 15-30m at low tide level and you have to go quite far sometimes to find >40m depths (about 15 nautic miles)..
I have done several wrecks recently : HMS Magic, Dragon, HMS Durban, "Caboteur 83"
I am planning to do the Barsac wreck (a nickel ore transport ship, sunk by UB-80, Kplt Max Viebeg, during WW-I) and I hope I will dive on some other "famous" wrecks as the Norfalk, Empire Broadsword, Leopoldville.
