Sunken Submarine Found off Ibiza

Divers from clubs in Ibiza have discovered the remains of a submarine off the south coast of the island

Divers from clubs in Ibiza have discovered the remains of a submarine off the south coast of the island which they believe dates back to WWII,and is probably the wreck of the Zaffiro, an Italian submarine sunk by a British flying boat on 9th June 1942.

They think it unlikely that the sub could be dangerous because as it was a survey ship it would not have been carrying any weapons. What is perhaps more sinister is that it probably contains the bodies of all 47 crewmen who went down with the sub and will therefore be protected as a war grave.
