ROV Survey of M24 Japanese Midget Submarine
ROV Survey of M24 Japanese Midget Submarine
Professional Diving Services completed a ROV survey of the Japanese WW2 midget Submarine off Sydney Heads for Heritage NSW. Works were also conducted at the time to service the buoy located within the 500m exclusion zone placed around the wreck and war grave. The M24 wreck site is of great significance to Australia and Japan and as such must be safeguarded into the future. Since the vessel may still house the remains of the crew, the site is regarded as a war grave.
