Now that the wreck has finally perforated along the edges and sunken into its self, is the wreck still diveable? I would still like to dive it and if you knew of an entrance to the wreck, please give me a call on 072 854 2224 A couple of years ago, we went diving on the romelia, when it was still showing and emerged out of the water.

I dived the wreck a few times in the early 90's but she is nog gone. The stern of the Romelia has also long since disappeared under the ocean.

I know, I was there as a young boy. The ship broke in two and then was floating in two pieces as one length. A few days later another storm battered the Cape Coast and swung the bow section alongside the stern and broke the bow up. During the same storm another ship ran aground with the Romelia and Antipolis. It was a Taiwanese Trawler and ran aground right in front of the old power station that was in Paarden Island. It ran aground on a sandbank and was refloated a couple of weeks later during the next spring tide. The name of the vesel was the Kuai no. 12 The photo of the wreck of the Romelia from the back is not a Tug alongside, but the forward part of the ship. I know, I was there as a young boy.
