Why dive here
With 269+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - SAS Fleur offers some of Cape Town & Western Cape's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-16°C, warmest February, March, April.
The SAS Fleur, resting between 10 and 30 meters, is a solid wreck dive off Cape Town. We always find its upright structure really inviting to explore, with plenty of entry points for careful penetration if you’re appropriately qualified. Over the years, the metal has become a home for nudibranchs and small reef fish, tucking into every crevice. You’ll often spot a shy octopus peeking out from a pipe. It's a great site for those keen on wreck navigation without extreme depths, offering a good balance of structure and developing marine life.
