Just kinda want to let some people know about a great book that is coming out in a couple of mounts called shadow divers. it fallow the story of two divers as they uncover the mystery of an unknown u boat off the coast of NJ (the u 869). when it comes out pick it up and take a read its a great book. ( plus my uncle is one of the divers in the book)
When I got certified, the instructor always stressed that you never go diving alone. If you run out of air, your buddy can help you. If you have equipment
problems, your buddy can help you. If you meet a shark, your odds are 50-50 instead of 100%"
How similar is this to "The last Dive" which is also eventually about U869 ?
Well, this book I feel goes in to much great detail then "the last dive," the author of the book spent a great deal of time not only researching the dive but all so the divers and there history most definitely a must read.

yes they did... my mistake. i shouldn't do these things
from memory. U-853 is off Block Island.
Yes it is, it was sunk on May 6, 1945. The boat is a total length of 252 feet. The total weight of the u boat is 1,120 gross tons and it is a class IX-C. It sits 130 feet under water and it sits upright, slight list (left). Divers should be advanced divers. lol just a little info on it
