1Japanese Sub I21
The actual site is about 70M offshore. You swim out through a lagoon and follow a reef wall around to the wreck. The Sub was used by the Japanese in WW2 was given to the Jap Navy early in the War by the Germans. It is a "U" boat that was later sunk by an Australia war ship and sank nose down about 100m from shore with the tail not far below the surface, if memory served me. It was almost completely in tact until salvage crews blew a hole in it to remove the valuable brass etc in the mid 70's. I used to live in the Solomon Islands in the 70's and dived the wreck in 1980. Beautiful place and so many wrecks to dive. Located at the village of Tambea. Entry fee fee is $25 Solomon. Japanese Sub I21 is also known as Tambea.
