Description:

The Markgraf was a Konig Class German Battleship and sister ship of The SMS Kronig. She served in the Deutschen Kaiserliche Marine in WW1. She sank in 1962 after her crew scuttled her. Its a very beautiful wreck dive with lots to see and explore as the hull is open allowing divers to peer inside, she lies in the Scapa Flow body of water where over half a dozen wrecks can be found; These wrecks sunk here when they tried to evade capture. She weighs in at 26 000 tons and is just short of 180 meters in length, due to the size divers usually require 2 or 3 dives on her. She lies at a comfortable depth of around 24 meters. Abundant marine and coral life.
