SMS Brummer

A firm favourite amongst many divers, the SMS Brummer was left largely intact by the salvage teams and makes an enthralling, impressive dive.

SMS Brummer was a mine-laying cruiser designed for speed. Today the ship lies on her starboard side in 36 metres of water with much of her arsenal on the seafloor.

This wreck provides an involved dive without the need for an overly technical commitment. However, routes that were once easy to navigate have become harder to follow in recent years following a series of collapses.

Nevertheless, with the help of an experienced guide, or with knowledge of how the wreck is collapsing, SMS Brummer still has a lot to reveal. Specific features such as the brass bridge emphasise the scale and beauty of this class of historic warship.
