Amazing day Kelp diving - our guide Liam was so helpful and knowledgeable about the marine life. We saw sharks, jellyfish, starfish and an octopus! The equipment was warm and buoyant so it would be easy even for beginner swimmers. Would massively recommend to any Cape Town visitors!

Professional, friendly and accommodating. Everybody we interacted with was all of those three things. Snorkeling with this company will be on my list everytime we go to Capetown from now on.
