HMS Repulse and Prince of Wales
These vessels were the lead players in the operation Churchill mounted to deter Japan from entering WW2. Tragically the operation went sadly wrong when Japanese torpedo bombers found the convoy and sunk both these ships with a huge loss of life. Both were Battleships, with the Prince of Wales being the larger of the two. The repulse lies on her side in a maximum depth of 55 meters with her starboard side being at 38 meters, this can be dived comfortably on air. The Prince of Wales is upside down with the deepest part of the wreck at 70 meters and is very much a trimix dive. The Repulse is one of the most outstanding wreck sites I have dived with the background to the tragic event and your thoughts for those very brave men who were on board this vessel when it sank.
