UC 92 (POSSIBLY)

The UC 92 (possibly) is a fascinating piece of history, and we love diving it more for the story than anything else. This German submarine, one of several allocated for experimental sinking after WWI, rests in a pretty accessible spot off the coast. The hull is still surprisingly intact in places, considering its age and how it ended up here. Dropping down, the first thing you notice is the way the light filters through the kelp, giving the whole scene an eerie, almost reverent feel. We’ve spent hours here just tracing the outline of the deck, imagining what it must have been like for the crew. You’ll find conger eels tucked into what’s left of the conning tower and velvet swimming crabs scuttling across the plates. It’s not a site for big pelagics, but for a quiet exploration of a historical relic, it’s superb. Our tip: go on a calm day; the visibility really makes a difference here, letting you appreciate the scale. Best suited for divers who appreciate wreck history and the quiet beauty of temperate water marine life.
