The wreck sits perfectly horizontal 40 meters deep on the sand, as if it was going to leave any second! It is unsafe to venture inside the sub but you can still see its guts through a few opened lock chambers and the collapsed upper deck... Most of the gear, instruments and torpedo launchers are still there!

I had already seen Aldo's pictures, but it was very nice to see them. Good read too. Hope to dive that wreck in the end...
 
Great photos. Thanks for putting them up.
 
Back in 1992 we dived the I-1, a huge Japanese submarine, on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. An excellent dive. Not sure what it is like now. Will have to try and find more of the photos I took and update my web site page. Michael McFadyen's Scuba Diving Web Site
 
Love the photo's. A sub dive is a bucket list item for me.
 
wow...thanks for sharing.
