Wreck broken into two parts on the height of the conning tower. Two parts are laying under a small angle to each other in distance of 5-10m. The hull of the wreck is laying on the keel slightly leaning on starboard. Wooden bow slightly risen from the bottom in very good condition. On the bow we can find an open hatch. In very good condition is also the depth rubber. Well exposed screw in the stern part with well-preserved torpedo launchers. Cause of the mine explosion around the area of the conning tower, that part of the vessel is destroyed. From the superstructure the periscope is sticking out, it's the highest part of the wreck.
