Cape Town Diving Forecast

Cape Town, with its unique geographical location, offers an extraordinary diving experience due to its ever-changing weather patterns. Known for experiencing all four seasons in a single day, the city’s dynamic climate adds an element of excitement to every dive.

As a peninsula surrounded by the ocean, Cape Town provides divers with the advantage of always being able to find off-shore diving conditions and good visibility somewhere along its coastline. The diverse environmental and ecological factors at play contribute to the creation of these diving conditions. Swell direction and height, upwellings, and plankton blooms are just a few examples of the intricate elements that shape the underwater environment. Just when you think you have the conditions figured out, they can surprise you with their variability.
