SMS Seydlitz
The salvage site of the battlecruiser SMS Seydlitz, a shallow field of debris left behind after the ship was raised in 1928. It is a popular second dive for divers who like to search through wreckage.
The Seydlitz itself was raised by Cox and Danks and towed away for scrap, but the site where she lay still holds a scatter of her parts on a sand, mud and gravel bottom. Divers find guns, one pointing upwards through its armoured shield, an anchor, searchlight irises, sections of mast and a large spotting top wrapped in hawsers. Concrete blocks and a barge left by the salvors lie among the debris. Saithe, conger and ling shelter under the plates. The shallow depth makes it a common second dive of the day.
