Erg mooi wrak, grotendeels intact maar opengebroken bij bergingswerkzaamheden. Daarom kan je er veilig penetreren.

Gedoken met MV Invincible. Enorm veel flora en fauna in en rondom het wrak. Imponerend groot wrak met leuke herkenningspunten.

The SMS Coln lies on the starboard side at a depth of 36 meters, with the bow to the north. The SMS Cöln is for many divers one of the favorites of Scapa Flow. And not without reason. Of the four cruisers, which are sunk in the bay, The sms Coln is in the best condition. Only the engine room was destroyed during salvage operations and the propeller is removed. Her contribution was limited to lay mines and patrol in German waters. Explore the bow, the boiler rooms, the bridge and the two guns on the stern side during your dive. It is, in comparison to other wrecks in Scapa Flow, a relatively simple dive.
