About this site
This wreck dive in Normandy's Calvados region lies in the English Channel. The M39, a WWII German vessel, rests at 18 meters, offering a mix of history and marine life. Its structure is largely intact, with swim-throughs and scattered debris attracting lobsters, crabs, and schools of pollock. Visibility varies with tides, but the site remains accessible for intermediate divers. The wreck is encrusted with colorful anemones and sponges, creating a vibrant artificial reef. Strong currents can occur, making slack tide ideal for exploration. Nearby sandy patches host flatfish and occasional rays. A compelling dive blending history and biodiversity.
