WHAT WILL YOU SEE?

Kelp forests

Cape Town’s Kelp forests are magical! Light streams playfully through the kelp leaves onto the sandy bottom, as we explore this wonderland where the fish love to come and hide.

Soft Coral Reef

The colours of Cape Town under water are that of autumn - purples, oranges, browns, and many shades of pastel! These soft coral reefs are an explosion of colours, full of sea stars, sea fans, sponges, Nudibranchs, and so much more!

Animals

We often see smaller species of sharks – shy sharks, pyjama sharks. We also often see local fish species, sea stars, octopus.

A seal or two also sometimes comes to visit us on our dives!

WHERE DO WE SNORKEL?

We have a variety of beautiful sites we can dive at. Some are at the Clifton-Oudekraal area (very close to Cape Town), and some are close to Simonstown.

Conditions are always changing, which means we sometimes dive Simonstown, and on other days we dive the Cape Town side. As a general of thumb, the summer wind is best for Cape Town dives, and the winter wind for Simons Town – but there are always exceptions.

The tour was amazing. Alejandro knew so much about San Jose history. He knew fun facts that will stick in my mind! A very enjoyable evening!

A guia Mariana foi muito simpática e instrutiva. O tour passa pelos principais pontos relevantes do centro de San José. A comida servida no final do tour é o ponto alto. Poderiam cobrar um pouco menos para termos um melhor custo benefício aqui. Mesmo assim vale a pena, pois andar por conta própria no centro de San José pode ser perigoso.
