SAS Goodhope, wreck

The SAS Goodhope is a proper wreck dive, no doubt about it. We love the way she sits on the seabed, listing slightly, beckoning you into her depths. Dropping down, you hit the main deck around 25 metres. It’s here the wreck really opens up, and while visibility can be a bit murky higher up, it usually clears as you get closer, revealing the ship's outline. She’s slowly collapsing, which gives the whole place a wonderfully eerie, organic feel. You can poke around the superstructure, keeping an eye out for the resident scorpionfish tucked into crevices. We’ve seen big schools of yellowtail here, and once, a frilled nudibranch the size of a teacup - a real surprise. It’s a dive for those who appreciate history and the slow, inevitable reclaim of the ocean, suited to experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles and slightly reduced visibility. The Goodhope always delivers a sense of adventure.
