Diver's Notes

I-169 Submarine - 344´(105m), 1.400-ton 1 I 168 Class Kaidai 6A Cruiser-Submarine was sunk while fleeing submerged. Sitting upright at 144´ (44m), the crew perished when she could not be raised. The Japanese then depth charged the subs sail and forward part, leaving it a scattered wreck, but the aft part was untouched. Divers in the 1960´s found the remains of the crew, which were removed and cremated. Corrosion and damage is extensive, so there are no dive penetrations. Depth makes this a technical dive.
