U-869 Wreck Off of Pt. Pleasant, NJ

2005 visit to the infamous U-Who submarine, a type IX german WWII sub sunk in early 1945, and discovered by Capt. Bill Nagle in Sept. 1991. Two books have been written about this particular shipwreck, “The Last Dive” and “Shadow Divers”. This wreck sits in 225′ of water some 50 miles offshore, in generally low vis, on this dive it was about 10′.

    Great vid! I read the book and have been fascinated by this boat. I live in az so the chances of diving this wreck are rather slim, not to mention this kind of dive is a little over my head :) . thanks for posting, too bad you couldn’t grab that bug!! looked like a 2 or 3 pounder!

    Not a tech/wreck diver– 100′ max vacation diver with 200+ dives. Read SD several years ago, and currently listening to the audiobook. This video is really good to see while reading SD it Last Dive.
