Wrecks and seals, Hout bay

We explored Moari bay, Houtbay, and dived the wreck of the SS Moari, a 5317 ton steel screw steamer wrecked on 5 August 1909. She now lies completely underwater, just meters below the surface at the shallowest point. The conditions were good and the team really enjoyed the dive.

We had some coffeE under the shadow of the BOSS 400, another wreck that lies on the rocks not far from the SS Moari, before heading for a dive with the seals of Duiker island.
