This “traffic jam” of vintage vehicles attracts a diverse array of fish and provides a habitat for numerous sponge species. Large pelagic fish are often spotted cruising around the submerged cars, creating a surreal and captivating scene for divers. The Car Pile is an exceptional dive site for underwater photographers and marine life enthusiasts.

The Car Pile is situated between Oswaldo’s Drop Off and Pierbaai, starting at a depth of approximately 45 feet. A barge rests at 100 feet, and the scattered vehicles continue even deeper.

This unique dive site offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the fusion of human history and the natural underwater world. Imagine discovering a vintage radiator cap amidst schools of vibrant fish – a true treasure hunter’s dream.
