About HMS Manchester

HMS Manchester is a wreck dive situated in the Med just off of the coast of Tunisia in North Africa. It survived three days of relentless air attacks until a fast-moving Italian E-boat torpedoed the cruiser at night, hitting the aft engine. Captain Harold Drew saw 400 men evacuated by an Allied ship before telling the remaining 500 crew to abandon ship, setting scuttling charges to ensure that it sank rather than fell into enemy hands. It's from 64m to 82m
