Rockeater Wreck Dive

Sunday's adventure consisted of a fantastic dive on the Rockeater in Smitswinkel Bay. The Rockeater was formerly a diamond dredger. It was rumored to be a very beautiful dive and this time, the rumors were true! A gorgeous little dive in about 100 feet of water. Can't wait to get back again - lots more exploring to do on this one. We then enjoyed a great lunch at Boulders Beach watching the precious penguins waddle by! Afterward... I ended up on a Camel ride (seriously) in Noordhoek. Go figure how my day would end up. ( :
