I wasn't being hunted at the time so I'm assuming it was a mine? I was NW of Londonderry, top-left AM53 and it was Sept 1940 - is it possible you'll find mines that deep?

On a positive note, after a scary 10min flood battle I limped back to port with only my binoculars to guide me :P

On second thought, I should double-check that my latest addition to the crew wasn't that Bernard bloke I keep hearing about...

Nothing to do with realism...a mine is a mine regardless.

At 50 metres you would normally be below mine depth but you are in a potential monefield area and without 'giving the game away'.....be more careful.
