SAS ASSEGAAI Submarine Tour in South Africa - Simon's Town, Cape Town Area

There is a place where all the land locked guys, whose governments will never have a marine squad will be happy to visit Simon's Town in Cape Town for the submarine tour.

The SAS ASSEGAAI submarine is open for touring. The experience is wonderful and breath taking.

This is the SAS ASSEGAAI submarine. The entrance is through a hole with a ladder.

Ensure that children do not fiddle with switches or equipment because some valves control water ballast systems, and high voltages are present in equipment.
