About This Dive Spot
The S/S Hindenburg is a German icebreaker that served in the Imperial Navy.

The wreck is notable for containing three machine telegraphs. Due to its historical significance, only a limited number of dives are permitted at this site each year. The dive site is accessible by boat.
