Best for advanced divers, 37m, boat entry, strong current.
The U-701 is a German Type VIIC U-boat resting upright on a sandy bottom at a depth of 37 metres. Located 37 kilometres offshore, this site requires boat access and is reserved for advanced divers due to the depth and strong currents. Visibility is highly variable, ranging from 3 to 30 metres, and thermoclines may occur. Divers should plan for a 30-minute bottom time and coordinate descents with the turn of the current. The hull serves as an artificial reef, supporting a variety of reef fish and invertebrates. Given the offshore location and potential for shifting conditions, divers must carry a surface marker buoy and manage gas supplies carefully.

Slack water is short at this depth, so time your descent to coincide with the turn of the current and discuss the dive plan with your skipper before you splash. Visibility can deteriorate quickly if conditions shift, so keep your buddy close and monitor your bottom time carefully.
