An Orange County man has  located the UB88 [a German sub from WWI] near Los Angeles, after searching for many years…..

7/10/2010 – First Dive On The UB88

by Phil Garner

I have always been intrigued by anything man-made under water. Whenever I came across debris I wondered how long it had been down and where it came from. In 1989 I read Shipwrecks of Southern California by Patrick Smith and Bonnie Cardone. The chapter describing the WW1 German submarine UB88 fascinated me. Knowing it was out there somewhere sparked an interest for me. A few years later I met a couple of divers who had been searching unsuccessfully since the 1940s for the sub. Using a fathometer and dragging a hook along the bottom were common techniques, but a time consuming way to look for wrecks. Things are much easier today.

In 2003 the UB88 was finally discovered by Gary Fabian and Captain Ray Arntz. They assembled a team to dive the site, document the condition of the wreck and post the findings on their website  UB88.org
