I dove the German wrecks in Scapa Flow 40 years ago. I was "posing" underwater next to the barrel of a 21cm secondary gun. It wasn't until the photos were developed a few weeks later that we discovered a crab tucked away nicely just inside the barrel.
I'm noticing that all the wrecks are breached at the engine room, not at the boilers. I wonder if this was because of partial salvage in the 1920s? These were all fast boats, even the mine layer, so it could be that the Brits wanted that high speed technology for themselves. They did salvage all the rest of the ships and cut them up, so they could have reverse engineered the technology so maybe they wanted the technology for actual use. I have never seen an posts on this.
The High Seas Fleet wrecks are generally in the 30-45m range, which can be dived with appropriate qualifications and experience. There are several established dive boat charters that operate out of Stromness. More info about the wrecks can be found here www.scapaflowwrecks.com/
it's so sad, that he doesn't even bother to spell "Cöln(Köln)-Klasse", "König" and "Kronprinz Wilhelm", right.. is that how you honour historic craftsmanship from over 100 years ago?!.. 😅

Nice footage of the wrecks. Had to mute the music though.

Hearing strident music while diving between WW1 german shipwrecks. I don't understand
Totally spoiled the video. Made it unwatchable.
Background music not inkeeping with the theme, distracting moronic.
John Lester are you dissatisfied
Okay so mute it, give the guy credit for trying
Would always be nice to hear the diving sounds… now the muting is only plausible option.
Can the music...if that is what it is.
Why the Stupid Music...?
Christ that music spoils it. Can’t watch anymore
music spoiled the video

Music excessive.
Its really fascinating how the flags are still intact on the wrecks. They are more than a 100 years old, yet they still hang proudly with full colors.
They replace them every few years
Just like the RN divers do with hms Royal Oak`s colours.
Mute*
I think some Polka music would better suit the video.
Nice video, but I think your colour balance is off, the sky looks blue in some scenes! :D
😂
Terrible music spoils the hole video well done
Very nice footage, is Scapa Flow difficult to dive?

Really cool vid.
music ruined the vid
Fantastic presentation on the best dive boat with the best skipper.
Poor choice of music
Too bad none of the battleships are salvageable to be used as museum ships.
Dope !
Christopher is German/American
I'm gonna assume the flags are not original? its hard to believe they would've survived 100 years. If that's the case who put them down there?

It’s some dude who went diving and decided to film it. The fact we got any graphics or legitimate editing should be above expectations

Die Dresden liegt nicht in Scapa Flow.
Doch

@@peterkemna1008 Es gab eine zweite Dresden, welche zur Cöln-Klasse gehörte und heute noch in Scapa Flow liegt. Bitte richtig recherchieren.
Whats with the heavy metal rock music, two thumbs down! Total CRAP!
