About Schurz (WWI)

Also known as the "WWI" or World War One or the Geier , the wreck of the Schurz is contiguous and lies generally on its keel. (It actually lists to its port side This is more noticable near the stern than anywhere else on the wreck.) The high spots on the wreck are the boilers. From the boilers, forward to the bow, the wreck is quite flat and without much relief. Inspite of its small, compact size, there are days where the vast schools of ba itfish make it quite easy to get turned around on this wreck. Sometimes you can't see two feet! This wreck has suffered a lot over the past couple of years from overdiving and overdigging from crewboats and artifact divers. Yet, if you can get on it with out other divers on it, the Schurz, with its abundant fish life and usually clear water, is still a very pretty wreck.
