About This Dive Spot

UB-74 is a German submarine wreck sunk on 26 May 1918 after being hit by a depth charge from the armed yacht Lorna. The wreck lies at about 34 m and is described as a worthwhile dive when tidal conditions are suitable. The submarine is still reasonably intact, though it has been used as naval target practice at times. Conger eels can be found living within the double skin of the hull.
