The PLM27 wreck located just off off Bell Island was sunk as a result of a torpedo from a German submarine sneaking into Conception Bay during WW2. The PLM27 lies in 28m of water and is around 125m long. She features a propeller, intact superstructure, and numerous swim-throughs.
PLM27 went down on November 2, 1942, two months after Saganaga and Lord Strathcona (see other videos), and on the same night as Rose Castle, struck by a torpedoes fired by German U-boat U-518.
Rose Castle is the shalowest (and most accessible) of the four wrecks we dived, with temperatures ranging from 6 deg. C on the bottom to 11 deg C near to the surface.
Filmed while diving with Ocean Quest (www.oceanquestadventures.com) using a Sont HC-7 camera in a Gates housing. Ambient light was used for most of the dive however a pair of Squid 250s were on hand to provide a little extra light when required.(less)
