Abille tug (Hel)
Abille is a French-built tug of 1936 that the German military took over and that sank in winter 1945. The wreck is about 37 m long and lies at 36-47 m. The official list gives 37.9 m over the wreck and 47 m at the seabed. It is a classic technical-recreational dive off Hel for divers with deep and wreck qualifications.
