I have plenty of hours when it comes to German U-Boats.

So far I have only visited the U-505 in Chicago.
However, while I was back home in Switzerland over x-mas, I was able to meet a U-Boat Vet who served aboard the U-135. He invited me over one afternoon and he told me about his time aboard the sub. I never thought that less than 40 miles from my house in Switzerland I would meet a German U-Boat Vet. That was a very exciting afternoon.

Would love to dive some of the German U-Boat wrecks out there.
That is a very valid reason for a side scan

cheers,
