The Lusitania (1911)
The wreck of the Lusitania is situated on the eastern side of Bellows Rock which breaks approximately 4km off Cape Point. The closest launch site is Miller's Point.
This is a deep dive with a strong surge near the surface, and only suitable for very experienced divers. The wreck lies in a very exposed area and is only diveable when the conditions are perfect. The Portuguese twin-screw passenger liner, sank in 1911 after it hit Bellows Rock during a storm.
There are lots to see and a variety of invertebrates and large fish occur in the area.
