They deserve to be fined heavily. Were any of the sites official war Graves. When I worked for the MOD we did a few dives on a couple of sunken German world war 2 U-Boats. However these were not disturbed. They are no better than grave robbers. JS

Re: Divers beware
The AE2 submarine of the Australian navy and used in the battle of the Dardenells ahs been located some 30 meters down. As is right will not be moved but plans are affot to somehow use a material that will prevent any further corrosion. Photos of her are quite incredible showing some of the diasl behind glass lookking as good as new.
Happy daze John in Oz.
