Not sure if Gordon’s Bay is right for your current dive level?

Let’s make it easy...

If you are newly qualified or feeling a bit rusty, we have shallow, protected sites and the option to start in our heated indoor pool so you can rebuild confidence before you jump off the boat.

If you are more experienced, there are deeper reefs, kelp forests, walls and gullies that keep things interesting without feeling chaotic or rushed.

Macro lover or underwater photographer? Our local reefs are full of colour and tiny details, with nudibranchs, sea fans, soft corals and plenty of small life. Plus, our boat is camera friendly and our guides are used to spotting critters for you.

Whether you live in Cape Town or you are visiting from overseas, Gordon’s Bay is a perfect add on to your trip if you want relaxed, scenic boat dives and reefs you can come back to again and again.

👉 Not sure where you fit or what you should book?

Send us a DM with your certification level, the type of dives you'd like to do, and when you will be in Cape Town, and we will recommend the best sites or course for you.

Some dives are “nice”.
Outer Percy’s is unforgettable.

Just before Rooi Els, along those steep cliffs, you drop into a kelp-filled world of boulders, walls and colour. Shallow, you get swaying kelp, bright sponges and soft growth. A little deeper you hit dramatic rock walls, noble corals and sea fans that look like an underwater forest.

Outer Percy’s is one of those sites where you can do the same route again and again and still spot something new.

Nudibranchs in every colour, feather stars, tiny details on every rock, plus all the usual reef locals like galjoen, red roman and fingerfins.

And then there are the “wow” days, when sevengill cowsharks, smooth hound sharks, puffadder shysharks, red steenbras or playful seals decide to cruise through.

It is a favourite with kelp forest lovers, macro and reef photographers, and Cape Town locals or visitors who want a scenic coastal boat ride plus a colourful, relaxed dive.

Planning a trip or already based in Cape Town and want to add this to your list?

👉 Save this post for later and send us a DM with “OUTER PERCYS”. We will let you know when we are heading back to Rooi Els and help you grab a spot on the boat.

📌 A dive site you won't want to miss...

😎 Coral Gardens - Rooi Els

😍 Probably the most beautiful reef in False Bay, with kelp forests, walls of sea fans, soft corals, noble coral, cauliflower, and purple and pink soft corals, anemones, huge orange wall sponges, and feather stars.

🐠 Teeming with fish, nudibranchs and usually one or two very inquisitive rays, as well as playful and inquisitive seals, this is a dive site you have to come and dive with us!

🙋‍♀️ We dived there this past weekend and conditions were incredible - and exhilirating, with clear water and temperatures of 21C on the safety stop and 11C at the bottom.

And today, it was 8C and with viz forever!

📸 Here are some of our favourite photos of Coral Gardens - we will share some videos from our dives later in the week!
