This dive site is teeming with life, as the submarine acts like a reef, attracting diverse marine life and flora. The ship’s hull is adorned with small white anemones (Sargatia elegans), thousands of pouts, the largest congers found in these waters, curious octopuses, lobsters, and a stunning community of pink anemones.
Participants will gather at the Marina to discuss the wreck before heading to the U1277 site for an unforgettable wreck dive! This experience is designed for advanced divers.
For open water divers, alternative diving locations will be arranged according to certification, with potential schedule variations. Please consult with your host to fully understand any differences.
And remember: We handle the details, you enjoy the dive!
