About SS Direcor Reppenhagen Wreck

The SS Director Reppenhagen was a small german Vessel, built in 1893. This vessel was part of the E 19 Submarine Massacre of WW11. She was stopped by a English Submarine in October 1915. The crew were forced to abandone and the vessels valves were opened to sink. Today she rests in deep water and is mostly broken up. Her remains are scattered around here, providing good shelter for the marine life. Excellent display of marine life and corals. Very interesting dive.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Deceptive Entry Openings — Openings may become restrictive inside due to angle, collapse, or corrosion.

  • Surge-Induced Internal Silt Shift — Internal surge can move silt and debris without direct contact.

  • Partial Overhead Environment — Many wrecks limit direct ascent even without full penetration.

  • Fine Rust Particle Silt-Out — Disturbed rust particles can rapidly reduce visibility.

  • Gradual Narcosis Onset — Narcosis may develop slowly, making self-assessment unreliable.

  • Task Fixation at Depth — Cognitive narrowing at depth can reduce awareness of time and ascent rate.

  • Increased Gas Density Breathing Load — Higher gas density at depth increases work of breathing.
