Prinz Eugen
Bikini Atoll · Marshall Islands
The German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen — which sailed alongside the Bismarck during the famous Channel Dash — capsized after the Bikini atomic tests and now lies inverted with her propellers dramatically exposed above the surface in the shallows. The accessible depth range from 3 to 40 meters makes this the most diver-friendly wreck in the Bikini fleet, with the propeller shafts offering extraordinary photographic opportunities.
