The statue of the navy diver at the end of the pier in front of Bertha's Restaurant reads "Semper in Excreta", which, if translated to English, means "Always in the shit". A former navy diver, Rory Rose-Parks, came to visit me in Simon's Town and related the following story to me: As the higher officers walked past, they didn't understand the stresses and strains which the navy divers were going through, resulting in the divers being always in trouble.
