Best for advanced divers, 55m, boat entry, moderate current.
The U 976 is a German Type VIIC submarine resting on the seabed in Arcachon Bay, France. Located at a depth of 55 metres, the wreck sits upright and remains largely intact. This site is strictly for advanced divers due to the depth and the requirement for decompression planning. Divers should expect moderate currents and visibility ranging from 5 to 10 metres. Water temperatures are cold, fluctuating between 9 and 14 degrees Celsius, necessitating the use of a dry suit. Access is by boat only, as the site is situated 27 kilometres from the shore. The structure provides a habitat for various reef fish and invertebrates.
