The Cape Peninsula coastline is unique in that it provides access to two oceans, and thus offers some great Cape Town diving spots. There is a tremendous range of diving to be enjoyed both on the cold Atlantic side on the West and also on the warmer Indian Ocean waters of False Bay on the East. From shipwrecks to reef diving…. seals to shark cage diving….. shallow to deep…….. or technical diving. When one side is a mess, the other usually offers good visibility and a good dive.
There are a number of dive operators in the area that run regular Cape Town diving excursions and who also provide rental equipment.
