Top 10 Dive Sites in South Africa

Dive Sites

Our team got together and wanted to bring you a top 10 that was both exhil­ar­at­ing and refresh­ing. It is a new year with new res­ol­u­tions hav­ing been set and a great time for new chal­lenges. We cast our minds to the gor­geous coast­line that sur­rounds us here in beau­ti­ful South Africa and took a closer look at the dive sites on offer. Although the chal­lenge was to only men­tion ten loc­a­tions, the pur­pose of this is to get the soul explor­ing and open your hearts and minds to what is on offer.

There is some­thing here for every­one from the adren­aline junkie to the more exper­i­enced diver, up for a chal­lenge, and even some sites for begin­ners. This is our take on the top ten Dive Sites in South Africa, we hope you enjoy and are inspired to keep exploring!

Diving in Cape Town

Diving

Diving

Silently bal­an­cing in a state of almost com­plete weight­less­ness, the dark water mov­ing around you, it can feel almost med­it­at­ive. Here, in the quiet depths of the ocean, you are forced to ignore your often hyper­act­ive, chat­ter­ing mind and just focus on the dive, all your atten­tion focused on absorb­ing the strange and some­times alien world around you. As reg­u­lar divers know, noth­ing com­pares to the raw pur­ity of the untamed sea.

The great thing about diving in Cape Town is the vari­ety of dives. For starters you have two oceans to choose from and on any given day if the con­di­tions aren’t great on one side, they’re likely to be per­fect on the other. There are simple dives for those who are brav­ing it for the first time as well as more chal­len­ging dives for the more seasoned adventure-seeker. So whether you want to dive off of a boat and exper­i­ence the deeper waters, or make a simple beach entry, the choice is yours and the oceans are quite lit­er­ally your play­ground. Continued
