About This Dive Spot
The UB-1195 is a German Type VIIC submarine that was sunk on April 7, 1945, in the English Channel due to depth charges from the British destroyer HMS Watchman. The wreck is located at a depth of 30 meters and is positioned upright, although the Conning Tower has detached from the pressure hull and is leaning to one side. The structure is beginning to show signs of deterioration. Marine life commonly observed around the wreck includes crabs, lobsters, and conger eels, which are frequent inhabitants of such wreck sites.
