  • This isn’t a dive site unfortunately as it’s protected under the Historic Shipwrecks Act, however, not many people in Darwin know that there is a large WWII Japanese submarine, the I-124, sitting in 48m water about 60NM NW of Darwin. The ship, which was sunk with all hands in 1942,  has an intriguing story to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_submarine_I-124
