Shore Diving
Entry Locations and Dive Sites…
False Bay
During the winter months (May to August) the prevailing north-westerly offshore winds clean and flatten False Bay. The water on this side of the bay is always a few degrees warmer than that of the Western side of the peninsula and can reach as high as 18°C. The visibilty is usually between 8 – 12m, but can quite often be a spectacular 30m in winter.
Atlantic Ocean
The best time to dive this side of the coast is Summer, from September to April when strong south-easters blow offshore, causing upwelling of clear cold water. The coast is a graveyard of shipwrecks, most of which met their fate during spectacular winter storms and many interesting wreck dives can be done from our boat. Kelp beds are dense and plentiful but take some getting used to. The reef life is spectacular, Hard and soft corals in shades of pink, bright purple, red and orange are set off by a background of yellow, blue, violet anemones.
