INKOSI

The Inkosi is a proper wreck dive, sitting upright and largely intact at 48 metres. We love how the sheer scale of it hits you as you descend; 106 metres of history draped in kelp and cold water. Built in 1902, she went down in 1918, and time has given her a real character. You’ll find yourself navigating past massive boilers, peering into gaping holds, and imagining the busy life she once led. Visibility here can swing wildly, but on a good day, the light filters down, revealing schools of coalfish darting through the superstructure. Lobsters tuck themselves into crevices, and we’ve seen some seriously chunky crabs making homes in the deeper sections. This isn't a dive for the faint of heart or the inexperienced; the depth and potential for current mean you need your wits about you. But for those with the training, it's a genuinely rewarding plunge into maritime history. Our favourite part is exploring the stern, where the triple-expansion engine still stands as a testament to early 20th-century engineering. It’s a bit of a journey to get to, but well worth the effort for a truly substantial wreck experience.
