This
site is best dived during summer when the south-easter clears the
water. The Seafarer was a 8000 ton Safmarine freighter that was
wrecked during a gale on 1 July 1966. The ship broke up quickly
and most of the cargo was lost. The sea bed resembles a junkyard,
with the huge propeller shaft and countless unidentifiable machine
parts lying around. |

Most
of the non-ferous fittings were removed shortly after the wrecking.
All 63 crew members and 12 passengers were rescued by helicopter.
