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.
