SAS Pietermaritzburg ( 1994 - HMS Pelorus ):
Previously named HMS Pelorus, this ship led the Normandy invasion on D-Day, also sweeping for mines 11 days before the time. In 1947 she became part of the South African navy, which also used her as a minesweeper. On the 12th of November 1994 it was decided to end her long and successful career, and she was scuttled to form an artificial reef. The wreck is still lying straight up fully intact. This is perfect for penetration and the marine life, which has grown in such a short time, makes this dive, a must! Max depth 22meters Boat dive
