July 2007	A very interesting dive for me cause i had never dive before in similar conditions. Descending in dark waters with low visibility from the anchor rope and then staying at max bottom time at the wreck. Despite the low visibility i like it a lot Date posted: 04-Aug-2007 08:45 by: Kyriakos

Diver reviews for U1277 U-boat:

A great dive, not only beacause you face a uboat. You can actually see the shape of it and will find plenty of marine life.
