SAS Pietermaritzburg (1994)

This ship started her career with the English Navy as The HMS Pelorus and took part in the D-day invasion of Normandy during the Second World War. She swept mines for eleven days to make way for the invasion fleet.

Sold later in 1947, she was used by the South African Navy as a training vessel and minesweeper. She was scuttled on 12 November 1994 to form an artificial reef in the False Bay waters.

The wreck lies resting upright on the sand and is fully intact. It houses abundant marine life and is a safe haven for a many species of fish. This is a perfect wreck penetration dive, as the wreck is fully intact and not too deep.
