Deep False Bay wreck for experienced scuba teams

Local operator required
Boat launch, shotline handling, and weather calls make a local operator the practical default.
Boat access, a long descent, and variable water clarity make this a disciplined False Bay wreck rather than a relaxed scenic site.
About SAS Fleur Wreck
SAS Fleur Wreck is a deep boat-access wreck in central False Bay with a largely collapsed hull lying almost level on flat sand. It suits experienced scuba divers who want a disciplined wreck dive, careful buoyancy, and a weather-aware plan rather than a lazy scenic drift. The site feels more like a serious open-water wreck than a casual tourist stop, with temperate growth on the structure and open-ocean logistics shaping the day.

Safety Notes
Plan deep-wreck gas management, stay on the shotline for descent and ascent, and keep penetration very conservative or avoid it entirely unless the team is properly prepared.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only. Go with a skipper or local operator who can make the launch call around weather, sea state, and visibility.
Legal Notes
The wreck is not usually treated as a permit dive, but normal launch and marine rules still apply.
