USS SUSAN B ANTHONY

The USS Susan B. Anthony, lost during the D-Day landings, is a properly impressive wreck. Lying in just 24 metres, she’s huge, 147 metres long, and you feel that scale as you descend onto the bow or stern. We love how intact she remains; you can still make out the superstructure, the cargo holds, and even the davits where lifeboats once hung. There’s a real sense of history here, a palpable quiet that settles as you drift past twisted metal and the shadows it casts. What you'll experience is a deep connection to a pivotal moment in history. Schools of pollack often swirl around the masts, their silver bodies flashing in the ambient light. Inside the holds, conger eels lurk, peering out from beneath collapsed decks, while colourful jewel anemones colonise every available surface. It's a wreck dive that appeals to those who appreciate historical context as much as the marine life that has made it home. We’d suggest diving this on a slack tide for the best visibility, allowing you to really take in the sheer size of her.
