You can still see in the tower the pressure hull, consisting of welded metal plates approximately 22mm thick, the combat periscope with the shining stainless steel and the hatch without cover. The spot is full of life because the submarine lyes like a reef attracting sea life and flora. The hull of the ship is covered with small white anemones (Sargatia elegans), pouts in the thousands, the congres that are the largest that can be found in these waters, curious octopuses, lobsters and the wonderful pink anemone community.
