I wonder, as U 133 hit the mine, shouldnt there have been any crewmember at all on the watch ??

Hmmm,logical question.But i think mines are supposed to be almost invisible from surface level.Only the mine trigger is close to the surface.The rest of the mine is 1-2 meters below that.The sea at Saronikos Bay,that's what it's called,can be quite tricky.
