Scuba

The Prinz Eugen was a German heavy cruiser that survived WWII and the Bikini Atoll tests, only to capsize later at Kwajalein Atoll. The massive, overturned wreck is a spectacular dive, with its huge propellers and rudder breaking the surface.

Features

A famous German heavy cruiser from WWII. The ship is capsized in shallow water, with parts of the stern above the water line. The huge propellers are a highlight. Diving requires special permission as it's on a US army base.
