U-2511

Description

Divers approaching the stern of the U-2511 ; a Type XXI U-Boat which makes it one of the first "real" submarines, so its a fairly significant bit of history...

It sank during Operation Deadlight at the end of WWII and now lies in around 65m of water. And its a stunning dive...

** Re-uploaded an edited version of this, changed it ages ago but hadn't got around to uploading it here ; just tidied up a lot of the noise/grain and lightened it a bit **
