Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss deep water scuba diving. I talk about how it's different to normal scuba and all the dangers associated with it. I then dive into the story about the German U-Boat - the U-Who which took years for divers to find and identify - resulting in the tragic deaths of three divers. It would eventually be identified as the U-869.
