Did anyone dive a U-Boat wreck off the US Coast?

There seem to be a few within reach of AOW divers - U-85, U-352, U-701
I watched a documentary on them yesterday and did a bit of research...

List is here, with some pictures
uboat.net - Fates - Dive into History

Did anyone go down to see them?

Pretty much my goal to see those, time and more money will put it on hold though. U-869 would be amazing to go see, specially being so deep, it shouldn't be as screwed up as the shallower ones.

Same here, I'd love to see one of these at one point of time.

One thing I don't understand...man, these people go down and take 4 pictures only??? :-)

I'd like to get to U-352 this year, but more realistically next year.

I dove the U352....looked like a Sub.....good wreck diving off NC and lots Sand Tiger Sharks and bait fish!

I've dove the U-352 last year. To me, the dive was more interesting because of the historical value than the actual dive itself. It looked like a sub that had been in the water for 60 or 70 years. There are alot of wrecks off the coast here that are more interesting dives.

If I recall correctly, we saw some sand-tiger sharks (always see them) and I 'm pretty sure that was the first time I saw a lionfish.

I haven't dove all the wrecks here, but I'm working on it!!

Very cool, thanks for sharing. The visibility seems to be OK. Also, did you experience those 'strong' currents they mention at the site I initially found?
