Just follow the signs to Vaersenbaai from Weg Naar Bullenbaai. You will have to pay a small parking fee and an extra fee to dive here. This is a small and rusting beach. It use to be the private beach of the police force but is now open to the public. Facilities available include bathrooms with showers, shaded areas and a snack bar. The parking lot is close to water so you can easily gear up there. From shore you will see the light blue water turning into a much darker blue. This is where the drop-off is, about a five minute swim from shore. The drop-off starts in 7 meter of water and drops to 36 meter. This is a protected bay resulting in very light currents and minimal wave action. An old wreck can be seen to the left after about 20 minutes swim. This remains of the pontoon boat that was used to transport cars. It lies between 20 and 33 meter down. This wreck is now encrusted with colourful corals and sponges. This is a nice site for both macro and wide angle photos.
