The Lusitania (1911)

Crowned Nudibranch Polycera CapensisOn 18 April 1911, The Lusitania, a 5557 ton passenger liner, struck Bellows Rock just off Cape Point. Due to the fact that the wreck only slipped off the rocks two days later, most of the eight hundred passengers survived.

A large amount of steel plating and some bronze fittings such as the props remain. The sea life is beautiful and varied, with many invertebrates and sometimes large schools of fish. She can only be dived if conditions are perfect and even then, it's a dive for very experienced divers and by prior arrangement only.
