SMS König 3D Shipwreck

The wreck lies nearly completely overturned in 38 metres and is largely broken up. Although the blast damage is considerable, the salvaging operation has exposed areas that remain hidden on the other battleships. The engine room alone is worth a dive as so many of its component parts remain.
König was a formidable force in her day and was the leading ship in the German line at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. She may now be the least visited ship of the High Seas Fleet wrecks, but König is a brilliant wreck for the experienced and well-briefed diver.
