Underwater biking
Fish swim around the underwater remains of the British cargo ship SS Thistlegorm, which was sunk by German aircraft in 1941 after being deployed to transport military supplies from England to Egypt during the second world war. The wreck, which is near Sharm El-Sheikh, is one of the Red Sea’s most popular diving spots, with armoured vehicles, torpedoes, Jeeps, rifles and Norton motorcycles on view.

A team of deep-sea divers from Perth has discovered the wreck of the Dutch submarine HNLMS K XI off the coast of Fremantle in Western Australia. The #submarine once patrolled the waters of the colonial Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) .

The #ExeEstuary has a few #wrecks in it. I presume they are #NavigationHazards but I guess it would prove too expensive to clear the #waterway. Perhaps they provide a #habitat for #MarineLife. Here you can see #Birds (I can’t tell whether they are #Cormorants of #Shags).
20 #Fascinating Pics of #Sunken #Wrecks That Aren’t The #Titanic
Though the Titanic may be the diva of the shipwreck world, starring in films, books and serving as a major catalyst in the death of five really, really rich dudes, there are more crafts in the sea than the not-so-unsinkable ship. Enter the Gunilda, the Endurance and even OceanGate's doomed Titan submersible that have all given submechanophobes a run for their money. From the tragic fate of the Britannic to all the doomed voyages lying at the bottom of the Great Lakes, here are 20 fascinating pics of sunken wrecks that are not the titanic.
