Great African Sea Forest Single Scuba Dive Shore Entry

Impact Divers
Activity Type: Marine & Water Tours Location: Simon's Town, Cape Town, Western Cape

Join us on a single tank dive dive down into this magical and marvellous 3-dimensional ecosystem which harbours an incredible array of life, from the tiny and the intricate to the large playful Cape fur Seals and everything in between. This packages includes a single shore entry. The dive will focus on the Great African Sea Forest, stretching along the Cape Coast all the way through to Namibia, wrecks and artificial reef systems. The location will be decided based on the weather for the day. Why not upgrade to a double tank dive shore entry and maximise your time exploring this natural wonder. Upgrade directly from the checkout page and explore two different dive sites! Become surrounded my huge schools of Strepie fish, explore the caves and swim through giant granite boulders and become mesmerised by the spectacle of the colourful nudibranchs. Your expert guide will show you this amazing underwater world in some of the most pristine kelp forests along the coast and point out critters to you which you would have otherwise missed. Whilst diving in the forests, there is also always the possibility of a cow shark interaction as they slowly glide through the strands of the kelp forest in its prehistoric form showing little to no interest in divers as it goes about its natural behaviour. Kelp is NOT a plant but a giant brown alga, but does photosynthesise like plants and so grows in relatively shallow coastal waters, therefore the majority of kelp diving is in waters no more than 12-15m in depth.

Cape Point Safari & Seal Snorkeling Experience

Pisces Divers
Activity Type: Marine & Water Tours Location: Simon's Town, Cape Town, Western Cape

Cape Point Tour See Cape Point from a different angle. Get that photo you always see in the National Geographic magazine. Make a pass through Smitswinkel bay and Buffels bay past the Dias crosses and close to the cliffs below the historic lighthouse that leads up to the point. Visit the Roman Rock Lighthouse – the only lighthouse on our coast to have been erected on a single rock. We often see penguins, whales and a whole range of seabirds on trips down to the tip of the peninsula. Seal Snorkeling Jump into the water with the Cape fur Seals and have a blast with the clowns of the sea. On our way back from Cape Point we stop at Partridge Point that is home to a few hundred seals. They are extremely curious and playful and will entertain divers and snorkelers alike. They mostly hang around the surface when they are in the water but will dive down to 25 metres to Scuba divers. The Cape fur Seal activity is available all year and anybody is welcome to join in on this activity.

Guided Shore Dives Cape Town

Pisces Divers
Activity Type: Marine & Water Tours Location: Simon's Town, Cape Town, Western Cape

Cape Town is quite unique in that there is a huge variety of shore entries available on both sides of the peninsula. False Bay has beautiful, thick kelp forests which creates an unusual environment for exploring, as well as a refuge for small animals and schools of reef fish. One will encounter numerous nudibranchs (over 80 species have been documented), crustaceans and lobsters, anemones, feather-stars, brittle-stars, sponges, sea-fans, octopuses and cuttlefish, as well as many species of interesting fish, such as the Klipvis of which there are 34 known species in False Bay alone. False Bay falls into a Marine Protected Area where no marine organisms may be removed or disturbed. Shore diving lends itself to small groups, longer dives, exploration and a more intimate diving experience. Photographers often prefer shallow shore dives due to better light available and shore diving also suits less experienced and confident divers. Our shore diving package includes all diving equipment, transfers from the dive center to the dive site and back, lunch with hot or cold drink and a good debrief afterwards. We have many marine ID books in the dive center to help you identify the critters you have seen.
