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.

Khoảnh khắc bạn đến vì nó: Readable cruiser layout, best light of the German wrecks, gentle depths for long dives

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

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

Nguy hiểm cần lưu ý: Sharp, unstable wreckage and monofilament snags; silt lifts easily inside the broken sections.

Bảo tồn: Scheduled monument; artifacts stay where they lie.

Nitrox: Đáng dùng ở đây — các hồ sơ nằm trong khoảng độ sâu mà nitrox có thể kéo dài thời gian không dừng một cách thực sự có ý nghĩa (khi đã được đào tạo sử dụng).
