Rubis Submarine - Vídeo de stock 4K

Located at Cap Camarat, between Cavalaire and St Tropez, the wreck of the Rubis is a must in the Mediterranean. The Rubis was a mining submarine launched at Toulon in 1931. Measuring 66 m long, 7 m wide and 8 m high, it could wet up to 32 mines. After serving in Norway, he came to reinforce the Mediterranean and Scotland during the Second World War. In 1945, she returned to Oran where she was laid up and used as a training ship until 1950 and later transformed into a submarine base. On January 31, 1958, it was finally sunk by Commander Riffaud 3 km off Cap Camarat. The wreckage rests 40 m on a sandy bottom. The submarine is very well preserved and its upright position on its keel gives the impression that it is ready to leave.
