Hi, there are some fascinating WW2 wrecks off Sri Lanka and Malaysia that played a key part in the Allied efforts early in the war in the Pacific. HMS Hermes is the only aircraft carrier sank in combat that can be dived, and HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales were meant to be key to the defence of Malaysia and Singapore, until they were sunk solely by Japanese air power shortly after Pearl Harbour. All 3 are technical dives.
