underwater mines approaching scapa

Just a note, I am currently trying to get into scapa flow from the west. I am hugging the coast. So far, so good. However, in external view, I noticed several submerged tethered mines that I just managed to avoid by luck. These were just northwest of Stromness in 12 meters of water.

What a shock to see this big round pointy ball right on my screen.

For all you hardcore guys who don't use external view. This is some of the fun you are missing.
