Atlantis reef is a section of the granite reef of the Castle Rocks restricted zone near Partridge Point, so the marine life has been protected for many years and is flourishing. There is no record that the site has been dived before 2011, so it is in pristine condition. The two massive pinnacles marking the site and known as the Pillars of Hercules, were known to exist for some time, as they occasionally show up on the echo sounder of [...]
The wreck's position is well protected from the south easterly wind, and the depth is conveniently suitable for advanced divers. It used to support a large variety of marine life, and is structurally still fairly intact. During the preparation of the ship for scuttling, the interior was stripped of most snags and contaminants, and some access holes were cut in bulkheads and topsides, and as a consequence, the wreck is relatively safe for penetration by suitably skilled and equipped divers.

This is a shallow site and the wrecks have partly collapsed but there is still recognisable structure. A shallow dive, in a reasonably protected area from south west swell, but quite exposed to the north-wester, which may raise a bit of a chop and make it difficult to find the wreck, though unlikely to cause much surge. The north-wester can cause a current that sets east. These areas are situated along the South African Coast and are accessible to the [...]
