About this site

The SMS Markgraf is one of the crown jewels of Scapa Flow diving — a German WWI König-class battleship scuttled in 1919, resting upside-down at up to 45 m. Its massive hull, gun turrets, and propellers are now encrusted with soft corals and anemones, making it one of the most impressive wreck dives in the world.
