U-1105

[wrybosome]

Hi all,

I was just curious if anyone's dived U-1105 near Piney Pt, MD. I didn't realize there was a shallow, intact U-boat in the Chesapeake! Any recommendations for a dive op down that way? Are there any site access limitations since it's a designated historic shipwreck?

Thanks!

You ever get any plan to dive it let me know. I have been wanting to dive that too.

Same here!!!



Not to hijack Sinbad, but I signed up for a dive on the USS Radford next Friday (w OC Dive Boat). There's still seats available...

I dove it 5.5 years ago but if anyone puts together something again I'd love to do it again. It is fairly local for me!

If you were diving Saturday I may have joined you.

I am in as well. Don't think we will find a charter out there, it is going to have to be a private boat. I will see what I can come up with.

Wonderful! Looking forward to it.

I went out a couple weeks ago with the group that went down and pulled the chain up to attach the buoy. Very low viz, but they got everything accomplished. I have a nice murky video of the muck if anybody wants to see what to expect. Going back end of July.

MPT also recently did a segment on the wreck for their "Secrets of the Chesapeake" series:

I'm in too, depending on timing. I got a contact for a local instructor who dives it frequently, maybe he can recommend a boat. I'll look into the charter side while you're looking around for a private boat.

Sounds like an interesting dive.
