This weekend saw the long-awaited visit of a dive group from the Washington, D.C. area. Sea Ventures, a dive store based in Fairfax, Virginia, has a marvelous program that studies the German wartime U-Boats sunk off the US coast, and then dives the ones that are accessible. Members graciously invited us to join them on charters aboard Proteus and to hear a presentation about their U-Boat course. The talk was excellent. Video, still pictures and historical input were all combined to create a fascinating account of the Battle of the Atlantic, the U-Boat development program and the particular fate of the Boats visited by Sea Ventures.
There is an opportunity to join Sea Ventures for a dive on the U-1105 - off the Maryland coast - on September 18th. Please contact info@powkingston.org, if you are interested in this.
