Why dive here
With 269+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - Graeme's Spot and The Jambles offers some of Cape Town & Western Cape's richest diving. Water ranges 14-16°C, warmest February, March, April.
Graeme's Spot and The Jambles are typically combined as a single dive, offering a look at False Bay's deeper reef structures. You'll find good swim-throughs and overhangs here, often sheltering shy catsharks and occasionally puffadder shysharks. This site works best for divers comfortable with cooler water and potential surge, looking for something beyond the usual kelp forests.
