Tjongejonge wat een joekel van een wrak is dit. Indrukwekkend van voor tot achteren. Een grote anemonen tuin met hier en daar dodemansduim.

Enorm wrak, wrak ligt op zijn zij dus ga langszij, tegen de bodem aan. Daar kan je de kanonnen vinden.

3e Scapa duik. Inmens groot wrak. Zicht wat minder, lastig oriënteren wat alles is. Prachtige begroeiing.

SMS Kronprinz Wilhelm is often the first of the three battleships in Scapa Flow people dive on. The wreck is shallow and has a lot to offer. Much of the flak, the board cannons and torpedo’s remained intact. A dive to the two guns at the stern is undeniably the most popular. Here it is clear what the essence and the massive firepower of the ship was. Still, most divers remember the immense size of the SMS Kronprinz.
