Diver's Notes

June had a day off
SMS Colne became our favourite wreck, this dive was on the Bow

From scapaflowwrecks.com:

"SMS Cöln is a light cruiser of the Cöln class. Sister ship SMS Dresden was also scuttled in Scapa Flow and never raised by the salvagers.

Today SMS Cöln lies in 36 metres of water but extends up to 22 metres at the shallowest point.

Unlike some of the warships, SMS Cöln is not a complex wreck to navigate and, combined with her depth, is well within the grasp of competent sport divers.

The imposing stem and Armoured Control Tower are just two of the intact features that help to make such a memorable wreck."
