SMS Cormoran is a guided boat wreck dive in Apra Harbor, paired with Tokai Maru and best approached as a deep, history-heavy run.
About SMS Cormoran (Wreck)
Deep boat wreck in Apra Harbor where the WWII Tokai Maru and the WWI SMS Cormoran sit side by side. The draw is the combination of history, wreck structure, and macro life: you move along intact hull sections, find coral and tunicate growth, and get a rare chance to visit two historic wrecks in one dive. This is a guide-led wreck dive for experienced scuba planning rather than a casual sightseeing run.
