U-352 German U-boat Offshore Morehead City, NC

Grow up kid!! how could anyone be a winner with over 50 MILLION dead? I lived through it so I know what it was like.

I don't understand how it's alright to dive there when they're still in there. I mean what difference does it make if they're skeletons or not, it's still their grave.

Im not saying it is or isnt alright to dive in there. For one, only the most experienced divers can penetrate the sub, so it is not like they are on display. Scuba divers are extremely reverent about such things. Those who have the abilities to penetrate the sub are careful to be respectful to those who died there. Scuba divers have a special understanding and respect of those who rest forever in the deep. We are not desecrating their remains.

I have been diving since 1977. The statement that "Scuba divers are extremely reverent about such things" is absurd. A dive shop in Charleston took the bones out of a U-boat, and sold them in the display case in their shop. They sold out quickly. A skull and $6,000 pair of German binoculars in the living room is just way too cool for many to resist. Right now divers are pillaging Mush Morton's recently found Submarine in the Marianas, to the dismay the families and the US Navy. Spare us the Pap.

You are exactly right. It would be poetic justice for these grave tourists to join those they are viewing. Unfortunately, their bodies would defile the resting place of these brave men. As a diver, I would like to see this wreck, but I would stay the hell out.

Yeah and I love how people dehumanize others just because it has been 70 years since they died. Even though there are still people living today that could have known those people, it's still ok to basically exhume their graves whenever divers want.
