		Diving Tour.
The Western seaboard of the Cape Peninsula is affected by the cold Benguela current moving up from the Antarctic towards the equator and influenced on the Eastern side (False Bay) by the warmer Agulhas / Mozambique current moving from the equator Southwards. The difference in sea temperature results in a marvelous diversity of marine life and scenery, offering the diver the best of both worlds.
Access to two oceans - the Indian and the Atlantic - allows a tremendous range of diving experience to the keen snorkeller or scuba diver: seals, whales, penguins, dolphins and sharks; shipwrecks and reefs in 6 - 7 metres or at 40 metres plus. The coast is a graveyard of shipwrecks which met their fate off the "Cape of Storms" and many fascinating wreck dives can be done by boat or from the shore.
Dive through dense kelp forests and marvel at the spectacular reef life. Hard and soft cold-water corals in shades of pale pink, bright purple, red and orange are set off against a background of sulphur-yellow or bright orange sponges and bright blue, violet or pale green anemones. There is a variety of sensational diving experiences to explore on either side of our coast.
Cape Climate & Diving Conditions
Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate: hot summers and mild winters. During the summer season (October to April) a predominantly Southeasterly wind is onshore in False Bay and most of the diving takes place in the Atlantic. During winter (June through August) a Northwesterly wind flattens out False Bay. During May and September when the season is changing, there is a continuous change in wind direction. Visibility can be 20 metres on a good day, dropping to less than 3 as the conditions change. Water temperature averages around 12 degrees Celsius in the Atlantic, but can drop to 8 degrees after a strong offshore wind. False Bay is a little warmer, averaging about 15 degrees.
