At Olifantsbospunt lies a hidden treasure - the Swedish freighter SS Bia. This majestic ship met its unfortunate fate on a stormy night in 1917, crashing into the formidable Albatross rock. But that's not all, there are two other wrecks waiting to be discovered as well! The SS Thomas T. Tucker and the SS Umhlali are also waiting to be explored. Dive into these shallow waters and embark on an adventure like no other. Don't worry about decompression, it won't be an issue. If you're diving in the area, why not visit all three wreck sites? As long as the sea isn't too rough, these remnants of history are well worth your time.
