Characteristics |
| |
Cape Town offers excellent diving oppertunity all year round, seeing that the peninsula has the Atlantic ocean on the one side (Better for diving during summer months) and the Indian ocean on the other side (better for winter dives).
Around the peninsula there are also many great diving reefs, wrecks, and underwater playgrounds.
The whole of the Cape Peninsula has been declared a Marine Protected Area, and fishing or collecting bait is completely prohebited. One should obtain a scuba permit from the local post office before entering the water as a SCUBA diver.
Being a nature reserve, the dive spots in the peninsula are in prestime condition, with abundant fish and plant life.
Dives around the cape will be remember by the magnificent kelp forests in which aquatic life is abundent.
Cape town diving has two distinctive sub-zones for diving,as it is situated on a peninsula the diving is either on the Atlantic or the Indian:
- Atlantic Seaboard
- False bay, Indian Ocean
This is an important factor as we dive different sides different months of the year,due to prevailing winds.This is important info as the temperature of the water differs by as much as 10°C from one side to the other. |
