No, I'll be serious for a moment, the wrecks in Scapa flow, not particularly deep but the larger ships are awesome in their size. Shame the viz doesnt let you see more of them in one go.

Most famous to who?

To divers, probably the Thistlegorm,

To WW1 buffs, the German fleet in Scapa

Don't ask what my favourite was though - could never choose!

Famous is a tricky one to quantify - lots of wrecks are 'famous' among divers, but if you mention the Hampshire, Formidable, Fujikawa Maru, Saratoga, Pres Coolidge, Zenobia or whatever (done the first 4 BTW ) to the average bod in the street you'd probably just get a blank look. They know the ones they've seen on the telly, like the Titanic or the Monitor which are not exactly accessable to the likes of us....

So what properly famous diveable wrecks are there - Rainbow Warrior springs to mind... any others?

Rainbow Warrior - has to be the most famous wreck that the average diver can see

Very nice it was too.

The Mikhail Lermontov in New Zealand is famous there.... and you might be lucky and find bits of the Mary Rose outside Portsmouth...
