Description
A shot of the stern of the WWII German submarine (u-boat) U-2511, which now lies in 68m (225ft) or so of water off the northern coast of Ireland (Donegal/Malin Head).
This was one of only a few shots I managed on this dive, given the fact that we only had 15mins or so of bottom time before starting our ascent, which took a further 55-60mins. Total dive time came out at about 90mins.
For any divers out there who care, this was done on an Inspiration Closed Circuit Rebreather, 16/45 trimix, a tripod, and a nappy
[Please view in 'full view' - I think it looks better that way]
UPDATE - some photos of the same wreck taken a year ago, to show the difference a tripod and correctly setting the camera up make ...
Stern shot
Conning tower shot
UPDATE 2 - WOO HOO! Received a Daily Deviation for this and am dead chuffed
