Dive-site story
Set along the eastern edge of the Cape Peninsula inside the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area, Millers Point provides access to dense Atlantic kelp forests and granitic reef gullies. Giant sea bamboo canopies filter the sunlight, creating shelter for small catsharks, octopuses, and diverse invertebrate life resting among the sponge-encrusted boulders.
Lush sea bamboo kelp forest sheltering several endemic shark species
Sheltered slipway offering straightforward shore entries and surface swims
Granite boulder swim-throughs and gullies coated in colourful feather stars and sea anemones
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Winter months typically bring offshore north-westerly winds that flatten the bay and clear the coastal water.
