You have dived the U-260 now try the U-861
Dive Site: U-861
Location: Malin Head, Donegal, Ireland
Description: WWII Deadlight Submarine
Length: 87.4 metres
Depth: 43 metres
Visibility: 15 + metres average
Only 30 of the U861's type were built. It sank during "Operation Deadlight" and broke into three sections at a depth of 43m. Slack water dive only.
Lovely dive in the same location as the Laurentic, well worth a visit in 2007, I took these photos in October.
