SMS Karlsruhe

Karlsruhe is Scapa's teaching wreck and none the worse for it. Lying in the mid-twenties and heavily worked by past salvage, she has opened up into a readable cross-section of a WWI light cruiser: bow guns still recognizable, capstans and armored control tower among the debris, deck planking traces, and machinery spaces yawning where plating has gone. The extra light at this depth lets the marine growth show its colors — plumose anemones, sponges and shoals of juvenile fish — and gives photographers their best ambient conditions of the fleet. An ideal shakedown before the battleships.

바로 그 순간: Readable cruiser layout, best light of the German wrecks, gentle depths for long dives

지형: A light cruiser lying on her starboard side, well broken down, in about 25–27 m

진입: The shallowest of the German warships and usually the first dived on a Scapa week.

위험 요소: Sharp, unstable wreckage and monofilament snags; silt lifts easily inside the broken sections.

보존: Scheduled monument; artifacts stay where they lie.

나이트록스: 여기서는 가치 있습니다 — 수치 범위상 나이트록스를 사용하면 무감압 시간을 의미 있게 연장할 수 있습니다(단, 관련 교육 이수 필요).
