Kalk Bay Harbour Wall
Average depth: 4m / Maximum depth: 6m
At the Kalk Bay Harbour Wall the ocean floor is littered with tires, fishing line and fishing nets, yet the occasional seal and small fish can be seen amongst the litter.
It is a great place to practice buoyancy for the newly qualified divers and it is also a great dive to practice your underwater photography. A giant stride is normally done from the harbour wall.
Sunny Cove
Average depth: 7m / Maximum depth: 10m
The rocky reefs here are full of marine growth but they are not as colourful as the other dive sites in the area. This is a popular spot for night diving with numerous small fish hiding in the sea grass. This site is sheltered in the bay and is often diveable even in blowing winds. Sunny Cove has easy entry and exit points that make it easier for the less experienced diver to come and enjoy the dive.
Boulder's Beach
Average depth: 6m / Maximum depth: 9m
This area is true to its name as a lot of boulders can be found under the water surface. A few caves and overhangs that form small hollows for fish to hide in are also a highlight. Along the shoreline you will find a kelp forest to swim through to get to the seaside of the boulders. Boulders Reef is situated in a penguin reserve and is thus host to the Jackass penguin. Seals are also seen in this area, swimming amongst the kelp.
Fields of Cape urchins line the smooth rock and together with brightly coloured Starfish form an amazing sight. In one of the caves we found four Pyjama catsharks resting until feeding time at night, while in some of the seaweed we found egg cases of the Dark shyshark which take a few months to hatch. A wide variety of Nudibranchs can also be found amongst the coral life.
