Dive Action

Cape Town & Western Cape, South Africa

If you’re heading to Cape Town and want to get wet, the team at Dive Action are the people to call. We’ve always found them professional, but with that laid-back friendliness you appreciate after a long flight. They’re our pick for anyone keen to explore the Cape Peninsula, whether you're just starting out or chasing something a bit deeper and colder. They run regular charters out to some cracking local spots. We especially love the kelp forests around Simon's Town, where the sunlight filters through the fronds and you’re almost guaranteed to see seals darting past. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a broadnose sevengill shark cruising through. For the technical crowd, they're set up for IANTD and can sort you out with nitrox or trimix fills, which is a real bonus in this part of the world. Our advice? Chat to them about conditions before you book. Cape Town weather can be famously fickle, but Dive Action knows the local waters better than anyone and will point you towards the best visibility and calmest seas on any given day. They’re solid, reliable, and exactly what you want in a dive operation when you're far from home.
