About This Dive Spot
The SAS Transvaal wreck is positioned at an angle on a flat sandy seabed, with its bow facing northeast. The structure remains largely intact, although the mast has collapsed to the port side, and the hull is experiencing structural deterioration, which poses risks for entry. Diving conditions are best during winter months, as summer typically brings stronger currents. The visibility is often compromised due to green water, making it challenging to see. Marine life in the area includes sea sponges, horsefish, and Barred Finger Fin species.
