Why dive here
With 269+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and great white sharks - Klein Tafelberg offers some of Cape Town & Western Cape's richest diving. Water ranges 14-16°C, warmest February, March, April.
Klein Tafelberg is a solid dive, a pinnacle that truly lives up to its name, pushing up from the seabed like a mini table mountain. Dropping down, we often find ourselves circling its slopes between 10 and 25 metres, always spotting something interesting. It’s a great spot for smaller reef fish darting around the rocky outcrops and we’ve seen some decent nudibranchs here too. The conditions can vary, but on a good day, it's a calm, easy dive for anyone looking for a relaxed exploration of a distinct underwater feature.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 15°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
