Prinz Eugen
La profondità indica il range dalla sommità del sito al suo massimo abituale; il "brevetto consigliato" è il livello richiesto di norma dagli operatori delle principali agenzie, non una norma di legge. Correnti e visibilità cambiano ogni giorno — considera tutto ciò che trovi qui come range di pianificazione.
The Prinz Eugen is the odd survivor's story of Operation Crossroads. The German heavy cruiser — Bismarck's consort in 1941 — rode out both 1946 blasts at Bikini, was towed to Kwajalein Atoll for study, and capsized there that December. She still lies where she rolled, upside down on a slope with her stern section near the surface; for decades a propeller shaft and rudders broke the water before one screw was recovered to Germany as a memorial. Divers who obtain access work along the inverted hull past torpedo tubes, guns, and the armor belt of one of the last intact heavy cruisers anywhere.
Il momento che aspettavi: An essentially complete WWII heavy cruiser; torpedo tubes and armament visible along the hull; naval history stacked from surface to sand.
Topografia: Capsized hull on a shallow lagoon slope, stern near the surface and bow deeper
Entrata: The ship lies in Kwajalein Atoll, not Bikini's lagoon; access runs through operators and US Army Garrison arrangements and is not open on demand.
Sapere prima di tuffarsi
Pericoli: Inverted overhead spaces with collapsing internals; restricted and changeable access arrangements; fuel and munitions history in the hull.
Conservazione: A US-titled war memorial wreck in Marshallese waters; oil was removed in a 2018 operation, and disturbance of the hull or fittings is prohibited.
Nitrox: Vale la pena qui — i profili rientrano nella fascia in cui l'aria arricchita (nitrox) prolunga in modo significativo il tempo senza decompressione (con la formazione necessaria per utilizzarla).
