Simon's Town: Kelp Forest Conservation Dive

Explore False Bay's Great African Sea Forest on a beginner-friendly conservation dive with one-to-one guidance and marine-life monitoring.
Discover the Great African Sea Forest on a beginner-friendly conservation dive in False Bay. Begin by meeting at the center for an interactive briefing led by a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer. Learn how giant kelp stores carbon and how to recognize key indicator species, including pyjama catsharks, shysharks, and local marine invertebrates.

Get fitted with wetsuits and gear before heading to a protected kelp-forest site selected that morning for the best available visibility and conditions. Possible locations include Windmill Beach, A-Frame in the marine reserve, or Long Beach when conditions are limiting.

Enter the water with dedicated one-to-one guidance and glide among golden sea-bamboo kelp. Apply your new identification skills by spotting and recording endemic marine life in its natural habitat, with the chance to observe African penguins from nearby Boulders Beach.

After the dive, return to base for hot drinks and traditional South African treats. Finish with a species-identification debrief, a personal logbook sign-off, a digital species checklist, and professional photos and video from your kelp-forest experience.
