About SA Navy Standby Diver
If you are visiting rather than applying, the bronze statue on the jetty is a must-see. Sculpted by Otto du Plessis, it features intricate details—like a hidden lobster and an "Old Brown Sherry" bottle—honoring the dangerous and often unthanked work of naval divers. Its plaque carries the humorous but gritty motto: “Semper in excreta” (always in the sh*t)
