SMS Cöln 3D Shipwreck
Explore the SMS Cöln shipwreck in 3D. Simply drag with your mouse to move around the wreck.
She lies on her starboard side in 36 metres of seawater with the bows pointing roughly north. The top of the wreck is around 22 metres making her a good 30-metre dive well within the grasp of most competent sports divers.
Easy to navigate with all the main structures intact and recognisable, Cöln swiftly becomes most people's favourite after a week's diving.
The wreck lies on a flat, even seabed. Salvors blasted her engine room, but little else, so that even after more than 90 years of immersion her structure is reasonably intact and she is easily recognisable as a warship.
