Explore the Deep in Cape Town

Cape Town’s coastline is home to some of the most captivating dive sites in the world. From haunting shipwrecks to vibrant reef ecosystems, our Wreck & Reef Scuba Diving Experience offers certified divers a chance to explore the hidden treasures of False Bay and beyond.

Wreck Diving Adventures

The Cape’s rugged shores are scattered with shipwrecks—some lost centuries ago, others in more recent times. Dive into maritime history as you explore sites like:

• Maori

• Astor

• Katzu Maru

• SAS Pietermaritzburg

• Smitswinkel Bay Wrecks (home to five fascinating wrecks)

Dive depths vary from 12m to 40m and will be selected based on your certification level and conditions on the day.

Reef Diving in False Bay

The underwater landscape of the Western Cape is as diverse as its terrestrial flora. With the merging of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, Cape Town’s reefs are bursting with marine biodiversity.
Expect to see:

• Towering kelp forests

• Cold-water coral gardens

• Colorful nudibranchs, octopuses, reef fish, crabs, and more

• Unique cold-water fans, sponges, and sea whips

Our reef dives often involve multi-level profiles, ideal for divers who want to experience everything from shallow gardens to deeper reef structures.
