Description

Cape Town's oceans are a playground for the adventurous, where every dive promises something new and thrilling. With ever-changing conditions, the best way to uncover the hidden gems beneath the waves is by exploring different dive sites by boat. Not only does this give you access to diverse underwater worlds, but it also lets you soak in the breathtaking coastal scenery that Cape Town is famous for—perfect for divers who crave both underwater and topside beauty.

This exhilarating trip includes two dives that cater to both certified scuba divers and snorkelers. Picture yourself rolling off the boat, descending into a mysterious kelp forest, where towering fronds sway in the currents like something out of a dream. Then, venture to a vibrant soft coral reef, bursting with color and life. If conditions allow, we might even explore a historic shipwreck, now teeming with marine life after years of being submerged—a true underwater treasure hunt.

Each dive site is carefully selected to ensure you have an unforgettable experience, all within the depth limits of an Open Water Certification (less than 18 meters deep). For those craving a deeper dive, let us know, and we'll arrange a special dive just for you. If your heart is set on exploring only the magical kelp forests, our shore dive option is perfect for a more focused adventure.

With safety as our top priority, our experienced boat skipper and Padi divemasters choose the best sites based on the current conditions, ensuring your dive is as thrilling as it is safe.

We pre-plan our dives to include a combination of wrecks, reefs or kelp forests everyday but if you have something specific in mind you are welcome to put in a request with your booking.

Get ready to dive into the adventure of a lifetime in Cape Town's extraordinary underwater world!
