Hey Geoff,

Thanks for posting the videos - very nice.

I can't access this one however - it says something about it being private.

[Geoff]

Hi Stephen, it should work now.

[Stephen McMullan]

Perfect. Thanks Geoff.

How deep is that one Geoff?

[Geoff]

Hi Ken, Its 56m to the seabed.

[Ken Hawk]

Stick that on the list as well then

[slimtiger]

Is that the minelayer?

[Ken Hawk]

Don't think so, maybe we should take a look

The mine layer is U-218 and quite unique compared to the U-1271 type VIIC - only 6 built and the only one other than U-218 diveable lies in 90m of water off Newfoundland as far as I know

I had one dive on her and wouldn't mind going back for a longer dive - 58m to the seabed if I remember correctly

Is there any chance that I could obtain a picture of u-218?

Here you go my friend: http://www.britannica.com/bps/image/648813/4052/Launching-of-U-218-at-Kiel-Ger

Just remember that U-218 is a Deadlight - the other 5 type VIID were lost in action

61mtr to the bottom and i too would like to go back to the u-218 as the last dive i had to cut short
